...been the custom in past years for an editor to be elected to the CRIMSON at this season of the year from the freshman class. As election to the paper is by competition, an opportunity is offered to every man to avail himself of the benefits of practical journalism. We do not restrict our invitation to one class only, but cordially ask for communications from any undergraduate. One or two positions on the paper are yet vacant, and they are to be filled by general competition. But not only do we ask candidates for the paper to contribute...
Some surprise has been expressed that the seating capacity of Appleton Chapel proved so small last Sunday evening. Students had been informed by bulletin that seats would be reserved for them until half-past seven, but those who trusted to the announcement of the bulletin found, upon investigation, that the doors had been locked at ten minutes past the hour.

The scholarly president whose work for his college has made it a power throughout the country, can feel assured that his labors for the past fourteen years among the students of Yale will not be forgotten. His work is its own reward. And if he feels that he should still persist in his present action, we trust that no effort will be spared to engage a gentleman who will prove in every respect a worthy...
...cases, the refusal to subscribe is based on the ground that the eleven is sure to be defeated, then the college can do nothing but censure such an exhibition of mean spirit. Would the college have scored its brilliant victories of last year if the students had argued from past defeats that the championship in base-ball, in rowing, and in lacrosse could not be brought back to Cambridge? The freshmen must learn without further delay, that the burden of team and crew expenses must be borne by all. Each man must do what he can, be it little...
