...they should do this we did not undertake to decide or enquire. We merely named an existing student-body, as the initiator of organization, and trusted that there was enough of public spirit in the college and enough of the usual American good sense and capacity for public questions, to come to the front and find some way of making the will of the majority prevail. That an overwhelming majority would vote for the college yard not becoming a nuisance in the midst of the town, if the question were put abstractly, who can doubt. It remains to be seen...
...officers of the Mott Haven games, and we are sorry that we could be so mistaken. The charge made that the 100 yards dash was decided by but one of the three judges, is preposterous. To say that, in as close and exciting a contest as the one in question was, two of the judges were "not looking," must surely seem absurd.

The fact that a celebration can be enthusiastic without a bon-fire, is well proved by the experience of many former years, during which no thought of building one was entertained. The fact...
...committee from the CRIMSON, yesterday, interviewed members of the faculty upon the question of the yard committee. The committee learned that, as the faculty had voted to give the command of the yard into the hands of the students, the students were to be allowed to work out the plan by which the necessary work is to be accomplished. The difficulties of arriving at a satisfactory conclusion are recognized, and the students will be expected to surmount the difficulties and perfect a scheme by which the desired results of successful student control of the yard may be attained...
