...burden unless they give what money they promised to give. The amount unpaid, we understand, is amply sufficient to settle all outstanding bills, and the management of the nine has a right to rely upon its payment. Every freshman who has not paid his subscription should make it a point of honor to do so before leaving Cambridge...
...light the men who have failed to keep up with their work properly. Yet the force of this argument is greatly diminished when it is found that, in many courses, the harder working members of the elective have failed to complete the paper in the time prescribed.

The Brown men boasted that it was very dishonorable conduct and said they learned it in New Haven. Now we have yet to learn that it is not a point of honor with Yale men not to cheer at opponent's errors." But how about that Dartmouth game last...
