...competition; the other to give advantages for the practice of a capital sport to a large number of men, whoar physically or otherwise incapable of joining in base ball, foot ball or track athletics. Both these objects can better be secured by getting a range, (there are several,) nearer the university than Walnut Hill, where we believe the club proposes to shoot because of the advantage of having a 800, a 900 and a 1000yd. range.

From the article in question, it seems that it has been a custom more or less prevalent among the different classes, for the sophomores to indulge in such practical jokes upon the freshman as to sell them seats in the chapel or hymn...
