...hour examinations. Conceive them as best one may, the latter are certainly no more than necessary evils, though they serve a recognized purpose; any feasible plan for their abolition, there fore ought to be welcomed. Now during the present stress of work a thesis and an examination are often due almost simultaneously in the same course, and this it seems to us is distinctly rushing college work. It is the purpose of the examination to test the student's ability, to find out how well his college work has been done thus far. Unfortunately for the fairness of the test...
...through the game was weak and much poorer than that in the Wesleyan game of a week ago. In the rush line Hutchinson's man held him badly and the halfbacks were thus enabled to get around his end frequently; they rushed between him and Stickney also often without being tackled. Tilton got through well, but almost always overran the runner, thus leaving a large hole in the center for him to go through. Cumnock tackled well, especially in the first half, but Hulme got around his end more than once. This was the result, however, of holding which Wallace...

Ninety was a little heavier in the rush line, and often succeeded in getting through to Ninety-two's half backs, but Ninety-two was able to make holes rather to often considering the weight against them. Only once in the game did Ninety-two have the ball dangerously near Ninety's goal and that time it was after a kick...
...that is, for the best interests of the students has found it necessary to prohibit such men from participating in any athletic contests. In return for this, done for the students alone, the college is made to bear the brunt of undergraduate criticism. But in this case, as too often, the undergraduate opinion is hasty and unjust. We believe firmly in an open expression of studetn sentiment. It certainly has its place and often contains much that is valuable. But it does not seem too much to ask that it shall not be expressed without previous deliberation. We must...
