...successful. This appeal, however, is directed more particularly to the members of the Law School. They, many of them at least, live among us and enjoy all the privileges which are open to the members of the college, the only reason why they do not attend Chapel is without question because the custom has never been instituted.

The performances of the men who are trying for positions on the freshman eleven when regarded as a class - there are notable exceptions - have been such as to merit contempt of every Harvard man, but this last escapade is by far the most disgusting...
