...pleasure derived from belonging to the Mott Haven team, and going to New York to compete in the Inter-collegiate sports. Last spring Yale came very near beating us in the number of first prizes. And although we won the cup, many of our valuable men are no longer in college. The team which represented Yale is about intact; while our own must be recruited, else we can scarcely hope to retain the championship in track athletics. No man is sure whether or not he will compete successfully until he has tried. Therefore, it is necessary that a large number...

...right, and to all who hold to their honor as gentlemen, such an imputation is as unwarranted as it can be proved to be untrue. It is now in the power of the students to show what they had in mind when they asked that they should no longer be forced to attend prayers...

...Owing to the unequal length of the boats, the manner of starting the crews, was the cause of much controversy several years ago. Article XIX settles the question definitely. A flag supported by a metal rod is fixed in the stern of the shorter boat, and another on the longer boat, at a distance forward from the center of that boat, equal to one half the length of the shorter boat.

We trust that the report which is now current, that Yale will probably in any event be prohibited for playing ball next year, is without foundation. If Yale should no longer be allowed to enter the contest, there is little doubt that much of the interest which now attends the games would be wanting. We cannot see in what respect the inter-collegiate contests are detrimental to the welfare of Yale, notwithstanding the claims of Professor Richards. These contests certainly foster...

...elective pamphlet there have been but few changes in the Philosophical department, with the exception of Philosophy 3, and the advanced courses for special work. We are sorry to see that Prof. Royce's book will be no longer studied in Philosophy 3. Those who have taken that course this year have been greatly pleased with the work done, and we feel that a change to psychology is hardly necessary, as course 2 gives sufficient elementary instruction in that line of study. The advanced courses for special investigation in metaphysics, ethics and psychology, are more elaborate, and are more systematically...
