EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- We have here in college a great number of courses from which to select what we think fit. We have opportunities under the elective system which the students of no other college have. Yet it seems to me that while we have so many courses on so many subjects there is one great deficiency; that one of the most important subjects has been left...
...probability there will only be two or three more hunts this season, and an athletic sport which had such a good beginning ought certainly to have a good ending. One of the dampening effects on the enthusiasm of the hounds has been the bad scent laid, causing a great deal of annoyance and trouble to the hounds, suffering as they did, a sudden chill when the excitement of the chase was relaxed for any considerable length of time. In December weather the hares cannot be over-particular in leaving a very plain trail and all the petty tricks for throwing...
...marked improvement of our eleven this year over any we have ever had before has been a matter of comment from many sources. That this fact is due in a very great measure to the faithful work of the men, and the untiring efforts of Captain Holden, is beyond dispute. Nevertheless the aid rendered by Messrs.

In other words...
...custom of concealing commencement did not long continue. We are told that between 1675 and 1700 the students were very "immoral and disorderly," and vigorous measures had to be resorted to by the faculty. The practice of "unsuitable and unseasonable dancing" crept into the college to the great sorrow of the "honorable governors." In spite of all that is said, we cannot think the students of those days so bad as they are reported, for one must consider the sentiments of the time in which these reports were written. The Puritan fathers who held the reins of the college could...
