...large measure, selects and appoints men fit in his estimation to do credit to the college in the athletic field, and he holds the power of the dismissal from the team of those men who do not seem satisfactory. This power which ought never to be abused, is often used in a way which, though often without cause, creates universal discontent among those striving for position. It would be a strange thing indeed, if every captain elected by the students to fill this important office was "the eight man in the eight place," who puts aside all personal friendships...
During the past few years several disagreeable controversies have arisen and much ill-feeling has been occasioned by the manner in which intercollegiate contests have been conducted.

When filled with this spirit, students are much more approachable than they ordinarily are and often yield to instincts which, were it not for the infusion of said spirits, would have no influence whatever. We have every reason to suppose from what we have seen that the close of the recent examination does not differ in the least from similar occasions in the past and that...
