...refrain. So did the Italians, but in a different way. Now, in sober earnest, what are we going to do about it? There must exist some responsible authority which shall have control over all such nuisances. It is too late to do anything this spring about the matter. The faculty want us to take this matter into our own hands, and we hope that next fall, the various classes will each appoint two or three members who shall act as an executive committee from the four classes and shall have charge of minimizing, as much as possible, the number...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I would like through your columns to call the attention of the superintendent of buildings to a small matter, but a very harassing one to men in the vicinity who are worn out by their grinding for the examinations. I refer to the workmen picking away at the brick work of Holden Chapel. The west fronts of Stoughton and Hollis are exposed to this continuous sound, beside which lawn mowers and mucker choruses are music. Cannot this work be postponed a few weeks, until men have left college? The building would be none the worse...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - Up to eight o'clock last night, only twenty names had been signed to accompany the freshman nine to New Haven Saturday.

...wretched notes that are now being sold around college, demand more than the passing imprecations of those who buy and have to read them. Their worthlessness should be made a matter of public notice.

But this subject immediately leads us to a more serious matter, the whole system of buying and selling notes. Few stop to think what an evil this is or to what it might lead...
...Professor Richards. These contests certainly foster an espirt de corps which could not possibly be attained by any other means. Much is said each year concerning the loss to study which athletics involve, and little need be said in answer. For all who are interested enough in the matter to become informed, know that the loss of time occurring from the pursuit is absolutely infinitesimal, when compared with the courage and perseverance which are thus inspired. The students of Yale may feel that, whatever shall be the action of their faculty, they will receive the sympathy of their friends...
