...University hockey team yesterday defeated a scrub team made up of graduates and members of the second team by a score of 6 to 4. The forwards on the first team did not play together at all, but often attempted to carry the puck down the ice unassisted. Townsend showed improvement in stick work, but the passing of the other forwards was ragged. With the exception of Willetts, who in a number of instances body-checked well, the defensive work of the University team, was poor. D. Newhall lifted poorly and Ivy was weak at goal. Penhallow at cover point...
...Fish stated the fact that has so often been emphasized that, after all, the true measure of a university is its standard of scholarship, which fits men for the work of the world. None deserves the favors of his college so much as the man who by all tests has proved himself the most worthy scholar. That a business man has been asked to speak to you this evening shows the importance of the scholar in the world of commerce today...
...brutal playing, and this unfits football for a place among college sports. Unfair methods are profitable towards victory, and there is every incentive to their use.

So strong are the temptations and so inadequate the punishments that brutal instincts...
...Artists often wonder, said Mrs. Fiske, if they are doing any good when they compare their art with practical human work which supplies a pressing need. The justification of the drama must be found in its power to soften the brutal instincts which lie hidden in every man. Acting today is becoming specialized, and the range of actors is growing smaller. The actors of the past generation were better in Shakespearian roles than modern actors: but today plays are perfectly mounted and the actors excel in showing the problems of every day life. In modern plays there is less outward...
...without exception, are good and seem to indicate sufficient care in execution, particularly the frontispiece, "Dea ex Machina", the center-page, "What will it bring forth", and the head-piece to "By the Way", all excellent work. "By the Way" itself, however, offers serious ground for the suggestion, already often made, that this column be definitely done away with. All the possibilities of this department seem to have been exhausted long ago. The jokes are mainly of the pun variety, in general of the poor pun variety, and the verse, excluding perhaps that on the last page, hardly justifies...
