...everything that could be desired. The speaking was all of it earnest and forcible and the enthusiasm of the students showed that the words were having their effect. The meeting will doubtless do very much towards breaking up the system of cliques and combinations which tend so strongly to narrow our student life. But this meeting is not in itself enough. If college life is to broaden out into its best form, the college press and every influence which has any place here must excite itself to tighten the bond of real friendship, and to eliminate whatever of hypocrisy...
...list of victories on the track. To the men who represented the university so honorably and successfully we wish to extend our heartiest congratulations. The victory was clearly earned, and by a score much larger than we had dared to expect. Many a point was won by a very narrow margin, but in every case it was pure grit and determination which decided the event in Harvard's favor. In spite of rain and wind, the games never lacked in excitement. All in all they were, from a standpoint of interest, the best that have ever been seen on Holmes...
...majority of colleges represented at the meeting, take in regard to this question. Harvard, with the others, placed herself on record as opposed to the rule, but not because she was opposed to reform. She simply believes that, in the heat of enthusiasm, Yale was indiscreet in attempting to narrow her athletics down to a college basis; and this feeling is apparently strong even at Yale. With college sentiment expressed so strongly against the measure, it would seem dictatorial, at the least, to persist uncompromisingly in a plan so weakly backed...
This conclusion, it seems to us, is inevitable. We do not deny Princeton her right to do as she pleases in the matter. Neither can Princeton deny Harvard her right to place her own standard. It can be said authoritatively that Harvard will never agree to narrow her athletics down to a strictly college basis. It would seem, then, that future contests between the two universities must cease permanently unless a compromise is effected, by which Princeton will broaden her stand. If she, for her own reasons, declines to do this, there are other universities, whose rapid growth of late...
...growing more and more obvious every year and long ago reaching a point where some action must be taken. Gove Hall has long since ceased to be satisfactory; it is built upon a poor model and is too small to hold our increasing library, while the reading-room is narrow, cramped, poorly ventilated and totally inadequate. A library building such as this is hardly a credit to the university, and we have complained of it a long time and hoped for an improvement. The suggestion of Professor Norton has an incentive that should give a new and active interest...
