Each year sees some improvement in these organizations. Though they may lose valuable men,- the Glee Club some singers, the Banjo and Pierian some instrumentalists, yet the general course of all of them is onward. They each fill their niche in the organism of the University; and it would be well if every other part performed its function as completely...
...disapproval.) These men may be naturally good and agreeable fellows, who come here without knowing anyone, repel those with whom they come in contact by an unfortunate lack of manners or by a hampering poverty, and then are frozen up into themselves by the snobbery which they encounter, and lose all the sweetness of college life in the solitude of their rooms.

Finally, to complete the destruction of its ancient character...
...practicing with the freshmen eleven, is a good one. There is no good reason why this custom should not be inaugurated here. Men do not seem to realize that a freshman team is one of the integral parts of our athletic system and that it has to win or lose like any other team. The success of the freshman should be the interest of the college at large, and '88, '89 and '90 should consider it their duty to see that nothing is left undone which might affect the result of the game with Yale...
