...gross injustice to put more than a very small minority of college men in this class. The average collegian, though he may fall far short of his responsibility, is yet a better man for having had it imposed upon him, and college is quite late enough to learn of this responsibility. The student with a foundation of manliness cannot, except unjustly, be made to suffer for the student who if he is maintained now by an artifice system of props, will nevertheless fall as soon as he leaves colleges and is brought in contact with the world.

...that the men do not realize how much interest is taken in the tug-of-war contests at the winter meetings that in these contests class feeling finds expression as at no other time, except at the class races in May.

The victory was a splendid one and the members of the team well deserve some token from the class. When we learn, therefore, that some men in the class, notably those...
...Mott Haven candidates are working regularly every afternoon, and also the football squad, which is now very large, is diligently at work under the supervision of Captain Cumnock and Mr. Lathrop. It is the purpose of the managers to let the men work together for a while and learn just what they are to do, and then break them up into small classes, which will work independently of one another. As soon as the weather will allow, the men will practice outdoors, but until the ground is in fit condition, they will devote themselves to gymnasium work, besides taking...
