...warning will not be out of place. Men upon whose shoulders rests so much responsibility cannot be too careful in their actions. The captain should shun any form of partiality. More than one race has been lost by an injudicious selection of men and it is our duty to prevent a repetition of this in the future as far as lies in our power. It is natural for the management of the freshman crew to look with indulgence on the faults of friends, and to regard as unpardonable errors the faults of all others. This sort of thing must stop...
...faculty. The next thing of any importance is flag-raising. This has ceased to be an active custom, but is sometimes observed. The freshmen try and raise a flag with their class numerals on it, the night of the Glee Club concert. The sophomores stand watch and try and prevent this, but the freshmen often succeed. The freshmen cannot carry canes until after Feb. 22d, when they appear with canes about six inches in diameter at the top and from three to four at the base. These are called bangers and are carried by means of a leathern handle...

After each of these contests, the victorious man is elevated to the shoulders of his classmates, but as the other side do their best to prevent this, he is soon pulled down.

W. Taussig on south-western strike in Journal of Economics, Jan. 1887; Chicago Tribune, Feb. 13, 1887: Nation, Vol. 42, pp. 338, 401, 402, 418, 440, 441; also Vol. 43, pp., 469, 470; Boston Herald, March 21, 1886; Bradstreet...
...convinced that the team which represented Harvard on the New York Polo Grounds last Thursday is inferior to Yale's eleven. However, it is useless to repine and to regret the presence of a partial referee; but there are some precautions which we can take which may prevent a repetition of the acts which we all witnessed during the Thanksgiving game. Is there no way by which referees can be taken from neutral colleges-colleges which are not in the league? To my suggestions of this the answer has been returned that there are no colleges in which the standard...
