...settle down to the serious business of the night. Now by the beard of Gambrinus, shall noble deeds be done. Let the hugest beer keg tremble - even the Great Tun in the castle cellar. For here is an unflinching army of veterans, every man a tested hero, bomb-proof against innumerable schooners. What, have we not here men grown gray in the service; men who in the flush of manhood have managed to dispose of sixty or seventy mugs of beer in a single evening, and who have therefore borne for a year the proud title of "Beer King...
...footing with men. This is a step toward progress, if we may judge from the high success which has been attained in similar actions by other universities.

Sufficient proof that women can compete successfully with men upon a collegiate basis is found in a comparison of the work done by men and by women at those universities. Few will to day dare deny to women an equal right with men to achieve a collegiate education. Those who oppose...

The long and honorable term of office which President Porter has filled, marks an era in the growth of Yale, both materially and in influence...
...instructors are devoted to social intercourse, and form a pleasant and profitable feature of the club. The subjects of conversation are of course largely classical, although there are no set topics for discussion. The free and cordial way in which students and instructors mingle with one another is a proof, not only of the progress which has made a university out of a college, but also of the effect of the elective system in establishing a community of interest between instructors and students. The student's familiarity with the professor can hardly fail to stimulate his enthusiasm in his chosen...
