Some dissatisfaction has been expressed by graduates in the Law School that no notice of the graduate sale of tickets for the Princeton game was published in the CRIMSON. This sale was intended only for non-resident alumni. It is reasonable that graduates now in the University should take their chances with the other students. The purpose in holding a special sale of this kind is not to give graduates in Cambridge special privileges over the student body. It aims only to afford an opportunity to alumni who are too far away from college to attend the regular sale...
...every one, but we wish to remind the college that the chance to hear such a man does not come every day and is not to be missed. This is the last Sunday evening that Dr. Abbot will preach to us this year, and if for no other reason than this, everyone should go to hear him, to show him that we appreciate his work among us and that we heartily thank him for what he has done for us and for the trouble he has taken...

If Yale's plan had been a reasonable one, arbitration would have given her all that she now claims...
...dining hall of some kind. Those who sign the petition signify their intention of boarding in that hall as long as it proves satisfactory. No one should hesitate to subscribe to this. If after a fair trial the Corporation's plan is shown to be inadequate, it stands to reason that it will be remodelled in the best possible way. Again we would urge the students to take what they can get. The future will decide itself and the only thing to do now is to sign this last petition; no one has anything to lose by it but everything...
