...members of the association. Few will claim that college journalism has reached a stage where further improvement is impossible, and it seems certain that by a judicious exercise of the right vested in the society of denying to objectionable papers admission to the association, and by earnest endeavors to maintain a high standard among the papers connected with the association, good results may be attained. It is expected, also, that the yearly meetings will serve to awaken discussion regarding the best methods of conducting papers and to bring out ideas which may prove useful to those who desire to raise...

Just at present we have no gymnasium in the college, because our old one has been temporarily torn away, but have made arrangements for the students in an excellent gymnasium near by, and we also maintain for them a boat club house on the Harlem river and grounds for their running, base-ball and foot-ball contests.

The entire catalogue has a prosperous look, and indicates gratifying growth and improvement for the university...
...Saturday afternoon, Nov. 25, the pent-up antagonism between the sophomores and freshmen found vent in a sharply contested foot-ball game. After a close struggle the referee awarded the game to the freshmen, the score being one goal to nothing. The goal was sharply disputed by many, who maintain that the ball was carried by the wind several feet outside the poles...
