...CRIMSON'S compilation of the records made by amateur athletes in 1888, in the issue of Wednesday, several mistakes were made which we take this opportunity of correcting. It was stated that at the intercollegiate games in New York last May, Webster, of the University of Pennsylvania, broke the world's record in the high jump, with a jump of 5 feet, 11 1-2 inches. He defeated Page at the games but did not equal Page's record which at that time was over six feet. In the pole vault, an unfair comparison was made between Shearman's record...
...neither a cause of edification nor enjoyment to their less fortunate neighbors who are still compelled to plod the tiresome road of the "grind." Again, the man who surrounds himself with more reserved books than he can use at once, that forsooth, when he wishes to study them he may not be obliged to wait, is doing a positive injustice to his fellow-students. Thoughtlessness has been made to serve as the mask for a multitude of sins in the past, but we now intend to give the true name to such actions, viz., inexcusable selfishness. He who collects...

Strict observance of college hours is a virtue which may well be adopted by both professors and students. Tardiness is a contagious habit particularly if it is manifested by one whose position makes him an example for others...
During the past year, many new laurels have been won, in almost every branch of record athletics, by members of the various athletic clubs. The colleges have held their own at every contest in which they have been represented, and, although at the Mott Haven meeting last May comparatively few records were broken, the account of the work that was done during the summer, at home and abroad, by college athletes, will have a prominent place in the annals of athletic sports. The leading athletic clubs have divided themselves into two associations, the National Amateur Athletic Association...
