...that this questionable practice is prevalent to a far greater extent than many realize. As anything to be dishonest must arise from some dishonest motive, it is hardly fair to charge every student with dishonesty who finds himself guilty of cribbing. Probably but very few of the cribbing class hope thereby to obtain an unfair advantage over their classmates. College honor would surely condemn a man who cribs so as to obtain a scholarship, or to gain a position on the Phi Beta Kappa. Such a motive would mark a man in the estimation of everyone, a thief and hypocrite...
...report that President Porter purposes resigning his connection with Yale College is received with almost universal surprise. The announcement, accompanied as it is by no explanation as to the proposed action, has caused great discussion, and the hope is expressed upon every side that Dr. Porter will be induced to reconsider his resignation.

We believe that it is good for college and students alike that...
...generally loses it, either when he is tackled, or by reckless passing. There is plenty of passing done, altogether too much in fact, for the chief idea of the man with the ball seems to be to throw the ball away when he is caught, in the vain hope of one of his own side getting it; but of good backing up and of real careful passing there is almost none. There is a fairly heavy rush line, the three centre men Trafford, Morse, and Markoe being especially heavy, but they do not make the most of their weight...
