This same Brown game was conspic uous also for another censurable feature-the neglectful treatment of the visitors by the home management. We learn that not the slightest act of hospitality was extended to our freshmen. Such conduct is self-condemnible. We hope, however, that, when the return game is played in Cambridge, the Brown men will have occasion to learn what hospitality and courtesy...
...saying, that nowhere can a man get a more thorough knowledge of human nature than during his college life. Business wants all the men it can get equipped in just this way. Special training is of course required after graduation, but the college man has acquired the ability to learn better and more quickly a particular branch of trade than a non-graduate, and is usually much more efficient after he has learned it.

To the students the vast quantity of decisions and reconsiderations, the vote of one body, and a refusal to concur by another are extremely perplexing. It is gratifying to learn that the students are not alone in their perplexity, for the board of overseers has appointed a committee to find out what its legitimate powers are. If this inquiry should lead to the adoption of a written constitution, which would serve as a substitute for the unwritten usages and theories, the system...
