...split itself up into antagonistic factions, each running its own candidates, the fairness and honorableness which ought to exist at college if anywhere ceases to exist and the element of "machine polititics" sweeps everything before it. We cannot afford to have a Tammany ring in these elections. The matter of society preferences has no right in a question of such importance to the whole class.

Everybody will be glad to hear of the final settlement of the arrangements for the Harvard-Yale game. The conference yesterday was peaceable and harmonious throughout and reflects credit on the good sense of those who had the matter in charge.

...only eleven men can be on the team, but thirty is not too many to dispute the claim for positions. If there are not many heavy men in the class, weight should be made up in numbers. All that we can do in an editorial is to put this matter before the class. The men who have played should take the question in hand and exert themselves to personal inquiry among possible candidates. This, and only this, will bring out the requisite number...
