...been a solemn matter in those days, for Latin was the only language in use in the college yard, no other language being allowed. Every hour of the day had some duty assigned to it, and even in their devotions at morning and evening prayers the students underwent severe mental discipline. How time changes everything! Now attendance at chapel is entirely voluntary, and many a man never goes to prayers for months. But in those early days compulsory morning and evening prayers were held daily, at which a long passage of Scripture was read and expounded. The freshmen were allowed...

It must be remembered that Yale has a veteran rush line, as heavy, if not heavier, than our own, and that the game cannot possibly be won by the tactics which were used against Princeton. Nothing but the most earnest mental and physical efforts can bring us victory on Thanksgiving Day. Over-confidence alone can never...

To restrain such from exertions which they...
...affirm that the loss of the game on Saturday was the occasion of our criticism of the freshmen and their conduct is an assumption which ought not to be made by any one unless he be gifted with that extreme insight into the processes of mental action, which enables one to perceive clearly the line of thought which is being carried on in a mind other than one's own. We do not believe that our correspondent possesses this insight. If a year ago the seeds of the evil which is now being reaped were sown, it is the oversight...
