...Faculty to gratify Yale in the revival of a rule in whose suspension Yale herself acquiesced willingly enough last year, is just a little too much. Does Yale want the earth every year? She is willing to let magnanimity rule, so long as the cards are against her; we mean that she shall do so when they are for her also; and in that we are fighting the battle of every other college in the country...
...editorial in your columns some time since which severely criticised the action of some members of the freshman class who made a habit of leaving recitation rooms in the middle of the hour. There is another thing constantly occurring that ought to be criticised even more harshly, - I mean the practice some men have made of leaving Sanders in the midst of the lectures that are frequently delivered there.

The Christhood which is yesterday, to-day and forever is the perpetual utterance of the unchanging ordinance of God, that only through the doing of the right does man come to the knowledge of the true. Let, then, the college which seeks the highest truth in Christ accept the necessity of righteousness as the sole doorway and avenue to it. We miss the great conviction in too much...
