...lean and lanky looking individuals parading our so-called campus, seeking for recruits. The freshmen, always anxious to identify themselves with something, it matters not what, fall an easy prey to these prowlers, and before long we may expect to hear of the budding Columbia College Lacrosse Team, warranted harmless and safe to lose as many goals as there are to be lost. Mass meetings will then be called, and the Lacrosse Association will be squelched, only, Phoenix-like, to rise again...
...proposal to revive the old-fashioned "scratch" races at Harvard, we consider an excellent one. Besides affording much harmless sport and amusement to both spectators and contestants, they serve in a measure to keep alive through the fall an interest in boating on the Charles.

But, if the reports be true, it is high time that college students everywhere...
...acts of the Princeton freshmen: "These freaks of rowdyism in college undergraduates have been witnessed for centuries and looked upon as almost inexplicable by the older portion of humanity, even by those who once participated in them. Taken individually and in broad daylight, a stripling who attends college seems harmless enough. Look at this slight young man in his room, bending lazily or earnestly over his books as the case may be. He appears commonplace, quiet and orderly. But few would suspect the latent wealth of stone-throwing, howling and sign-disturbing possibilities that lies hidden away in his slight...
