...chosen who have no personal interest in the success of either contesting team or of any third team in the Assassin, or else men of sufficient age and experience to be able to divorce what small interest they might have from their action. To come directly to the point, it is time the colleges began to have professional umpires. To this proposal the objection has been raised that there are no competent men of this stamp to be found. But there are such men, and well known ones at that. I have two in mind at present-Messrs. Edward Plummer...
Pardon me for reviving that threadbare subject of lights in the library. My only excuse is that of treating the question from a new point of view. It is, I believe, admitted beyond all doubt that the project of lighting the library by electricity is feasible. Two years ago, if I mistake not, money was subscribed, and we were just on the point of gaining our longed-for lights, when the authorities for some unknown reason gave up the idea and the money was returned.

We hope that this year every graduate of St. Mark's will join the association, and by his attendance make the dinner a complete success...
...Without the incentive to gain the supremacy in intercollegiate contests, the University crew, ball nine, foot-ball and Mott Haven teams would not be kept up. To win first honors, no effort is spared to bring each to the highest point of excellence. When the rule probibiting the nine from practice games with professionals and from the employment of a professional coach went into effect, the nine was not only denied the most important privilege which the other teams continued to enjoy, but it was so badly handicapped that it was no longer able to hold its high place...
