Shortly after, an unfortunate incident marred the otherwise gentlemanly played game. A Yale rusher...
...further remarks: "Mr. Adams gives a practical illustration of the license now given to cultivated persons to spell Shakspeare in whatever way they like, by adopting one style on the title page and another on the text." From this it would appear that the Shakspeare Club has a perfect right to spell its name in whatever manner it pleases, and a little eccentricity on its part cannot be regarded in the serious way that the "Member of English 2" is disposed to take...
