...fact is apparent that Yale College is not deteriorating in athletics. Nor must we feel that because we once failed to reach the top of the ladder, we can never get there again. Just because we did not get the base-ball championship last year, it does not stand to reason that our hopes are forever blasted. On the contrary, we have every reason to be hopeful for success this year. We understand that '89 will furnish valuable material for the nine, which will help fill up the gap which the departure of '85 has made...
...immediately kicked out by Princeton, but only to fall into the hands of quarter-back Beecher of the Yale team, who made a strong run with it toward the Princeton goal line, but was tackled powerfully. Fnally, R. Hodge of Princeton sent it down the field beyond the reach of Yale's full-back. Had not Lamar slipped in his attempt to seize it, a touch-down for Princeton would have been inevitable. But slip he did, and the ball went gracefully up the field under charge of Capt. Peters, who managed to force it over Princeton's goal line...
...average college journalist is seldom possessed of sufficient nerve to attack abuses which through long standing have become recognized as unassailable and beyond the student's reach. With the advent of warm weather we may expect to hear a few smothered imprecations over matters which, though to the freshman eye enormous evils, have become perfectly adapted to the Harvard condition of calm, admiring and independent indifference.

At all colleges there is a standard of scholarship below which a student cannot fall, and yet graduate. It requires only moderate ability to reach this standard. Athletes being reputed stupid, it would follow that few of them can graduate, and such as do only squeeze through their examinations. But an inspection of the college records reveals quite a different story. It shows that while seventy out of every hundred men among all classes graduate...
...long I should have to wait: "Oh, is that what you want? Why, you cannot have the book before to-morrow at noon." I fell back, mournfully bent my head, and went away. The next day found me in a line of some thirty fellow-mortals, waiting to reach the desk. When I arrived there, wearied, exhausted and hungry, my slip was returned to me with the word "out" written in bloody letters upon it. This is a true tale of how things are managed in a library which contains more than 500,000 volumes. No order, no catalogue, excepting...
