...Student Council's notice on another page can mean only one thing. There is no excuse and little necessity for men staying away from Cambridge over Monday after the Yale game. The game will be over by four o'clock Saturday afternoon and it is reasonable to assume that men can get back in time to attend their lectures and recitations on Monday.

They learn that honest labor is something to be admired; they gather a knowledge of legal proceedings, and, most important of all, they learn the meaning of true citizenship, the one absolute essential of a democratic government...
