...number of men have been summoned to appear before the Regimental Committee this evening at 8.30 to show cause why they should not be dropped from the rolls of the Regiment, under the provisions of paragraph 13. "Regulations," for the Government of the Harvard Regiment," they having been reported as absent two or three times, without acceptable excuses from the drills and lectures...
...Cornell Sun, in its post-victoriam number, reprints under the heading "True Cornell Spirit" a paragraph from the New York Tribune commending the manner in which the Cornell supporters received the news of their victory.

Such a direct and apparently intentional perversion of the statement that a Harvard victory over the Yale crew is not a fixture will warm every loyal Harvard man to several degrees beyond white...
