...statement of some eminent divine runs to the effect that "College athletics lead invariably to drinking." Columbia must needs congratulate herself for being so singularly free (?) from dissipated young men. As there are practically no athletics here, and as studious proclivities naturally incite moral habits, we accordingly infer that the students of our university are absolutely uncontaminated by this pernicious practice.-Actu...
...introductory "To the Campus" is better than the average of the reading matter, but the rest of the editorial page is spoiled by a series of editorials on the name and reception of the paper.

The Harvard system is, therefore, we are to infer, unwise. Although there are many objections and many just criticisms to be made upon our present system, we cannot consider it a failure. Its adoption was a step forward, - a step towards the realization of the ideal American university, and we cannot see that there is reason for a change...
