...desire for purity in athletics. In regard to the withdrawal from the league, Harvard's position is "frank and honorable." The resolution to withdraw is a firm "declaration on Harvard's part that she has become dissatisfied with the state of intercollegiate athletics" Harvard does not profess to be much better than her neighbors; she confesses her sins, and, as some one must make a stand, she does it. The second resolution, however, undoes everything the first one accomplishes. The first resolution is a step towards purity in college athletics, the second looks as though Harvard had eagerly seized...
...forced in the month just passed to devote much of his time to the production of the thesis. Accordingly if his thesis is not counted he is hardly represented by the hour examinations. Why the thesis cannot take the place of the hour examination we cannot see. The faculty profess the greatest desire to abolish the test system and at the same time they enforce it in courses where better and fairer tests have already been given.

The secrecy which has surrounded the actions of our base-ball teams of late has insidiously brought about many abuses which only openness and frankness in the matter can eradicate...
...nothing but a deliberate attempt on the part of a few members of the University-we are glad to believe they are few-to show how foolish and how mean a spectacle they can make of themselves. Public intoxication on the part of those who do not profess to be gentlemen is strongly condemned-what shall we say of those who do profess to be such, and who usually desire the title, if they stoop to the level of common rioters in the public streets? The self-favoring "invitation" addressed to freshmen by certain of the sophomores, demanding entertainment...
