...Yale Courant of the 13th inst. is a very newsy number. The Courant is far above the average of college papers, and we congratulate it on the success of its new management.

Yet perhaps I am wrong in this; perhaps the Freshmen are mindful of the fact, but think that all that is essential to success at the next race...

People felt that they were about to leave behind the old established state of things to enter upon a life under entirely new conditions, and that for this new state of society new methods were essential...
