...would seem hardly worth while to have the dance if only 77 men care enough about it to apply for invitations and it certainly would be a failure financially. The price of three dollars is not prohibitive--it has purposely been placed within every man's reach. The obvious conclusion is that the class does not want the dance or that it is just too nonchalant and preoccupied to take the trouble to send in the applications. We are inclined to believe the latter has been the case and we trust that a large number of Juniors will apply today...
...seems to have been made, however, not on the basis of a comparison with other years, but through the desire to have a thoroughly capable and well-trained band at Yale Field, such as will be found on the opposite side of the gridiron. This standard of excellence is obviously beyond the range of a student organization and it is too much to expect of it. The University band as constituted at present hangs together only through the perseverance of a few men who assume the responsibility to do what they can with the material available and make...

As for the third contention, any such legislation as Mr. Bryan desired showed a suspicion and doubt on the part of the people, of the integrity of the United States courts. Such a suspicion would be of the greatest injury to our prosperity, for it would take away the dignity...
...important bearing on the result, as did also the fact that the crew rowed much better together than Cornell, who had rowed in the same order only four times previous to the race. The Cornell men appeared to row more as individuals than as a crew, and there were obvious discrepancies between the lighter men in bow and stern and the heavy-weights in the waist of the boat. The two points in which the visiting crew were supposed to have the advantage, watermanship and weight, were thus more than counterbalanced...
