...freshmen have now been playing two months in the cage, and thus far but few good players have shown themselves. They are greatly in need of a good pitcher, and at present have but two men trying for the position. Captain Loud has requested his men to sign a training paper, and we understand that a very promising candidate refused to comply with the request. This is hardly the spirit that the college expects from the freshmen, and the sooner they get over it the better will be their chances for success. There is plenty of material...
...lower classes. The grumblers regard the requirement as an infringement of their "natural rights," but a little reflection, says the Cornell Sun, ought to convince them that this is the only manner in which the benefit of physical exercise will be received by those who are most in need of it. So long as gymnasium practice is voluntary a few of the athletes of the university, who are in need of very little physical exercise, will do most of the work in the gymnasium for the entire university, while those students to whom from their physical condition gymnastic exercise...

...secured two profits instead of one; for-to use the exact words of Dr. Hamlin-home trade and commerce is and must be just twice as profitable as foreign commerce. Let them adopt this plan hereafter and they will be on the sure road to wealth. When a student needs clothes, let him buy them of one of the professors, and when the latter need clothes let them buy of the students. The freshmen should buy all their books of members of the upper classes, and the seniors should buy cigars from the president and perfumed stationery from the youngest...
