...offers especial inducements for scrub games of foot-ball. The active formation of many elevens is already going on. No field of athletic enjoyment and profitable exercise presents so many attractions to the average non-athletic man as scrub foot-ball. Here he is fairly matched against men who know as little of the game as himself, and who can yell as loudly and do as little as himself. This system of scrub games is one of the best for fostering a lively interest in foot-ball, for by it men of every stamp of athletic attainment can find...
...unlikely that many of the freshmen who have just entered college are thinking how much more they will know four years hence than they know now, and how much better able they will be to study and conduct original investigation, and how much bigger men they will be in every way. Of all these things, it is to be hoped they will not be disappointed, that in a certain degree we believe they will not.

At least there should be formulated a set of rules governing the action of the bursar that the students who are compelled to feel the weight of the financial rod might know by what regulations they are pressed to the wall. The complaints which have reached us have come from angry hearts and seething brains. While we can easily (far too easily) appreciate the feelings of these men we would counsel that the citadel of their enemy be attacked in a calm and methodical...
Again we see the same old spirit in the daily press, which is the outcome of, we know not what; love of sensation, desire to find some victim on whom they may pitch without fear of retaliation, jealousy, all these come in as partial causes. The result we know; exaggeration of the failings of college men, belittling of their virtues. If any little fracas occurs in a college town, if there is any unfortunate disturbance, at a ball, for instance, of course it is college men to whom it must be laid, and even if it is not quite certain...
