...encroach upon this custom or to destroy its sacredness would be very likely to be treated in a very conservative manner. Thus it was when Columbia desired to enter the charmed circle, and thus the University of Pennsylvania finds it today. A challenge from the former institution has never been replied to by Yale, otherwise than by silence. Harvard, however, has gratified the earnest desire of Columbia for a race. But this done, Harvard feels that her conscience is satisfied and that there is no occasion for her to deviate further from the straight and narrow path marked...
...strong enough to ride two two-mile heats in an afternoon. He mentions that "in 1883 the winner spent the night after the race in an agony, fighting for breath with the assistance of five mustard plasters." If this is the case we should strongly advise that winner never to race again. A two-mile race is considered a hard race, but anyone ought to be able to ride two or even three heats in a afternoon with half an hour's rest between.

It is certain that since the growth of college papers, the college graduate in a newspaper...
Athletics I have never participated in, because my light weight has debarred me from all the crews and teams. Yet I have always found great pleasure in the numerous inter-collegiate contests, and think that athletics, if kept within proper limits, are almost wholesome influence in college life. The present action of the faculty I think inexpedient, to say the least...
