...declare that the moral effect of football is harmful have not, after all, solid ground for their assertions. The further fact that none of the alumni present arose to object to the language used by Captain Beecher as being unseemly and as evincing a deplorable spirit, might well lend further weitht to the arguments against the game. By their silence all the members of Yale present at that dinner signalled their assent to these bullying and indecorous words...

The studios are few and the visitors fewer, and the pictures in the magazines, we are told, are about all the Cantabs have to talk about. As for music, this correspondent says the real appreciative lover of music doesn't abound there, and the occasional Symphony concerts in Sanders Theatre are attended only for form's sake. It's lucky for this correspondent that hazing has gone...
