...editorial of a few days ago on the Yale faculty's treatment of Prof. Thompson. The report, on which we based our rather disparaging remarks, came from prominent Boston journals, and is only another evidence of the loose way in which daily journalism seems now to be conducted. We regret that we allowed ourselves to be so credulous, but nevertheless feel that we are not inexcusable...
...with great regret that we open our second volume this year without being able to take on a freshman editor, as is our usual custom; the contributions have been so insufficient that we cannot conscientiously take any one on who has written so little. There ought surely in a class of 250 men to be some who are able to express their ideas clearly and concisely, or who can write an interesting first page article, - not necessarily long, but pointed and interesting. It ought to be a point of pride to '89 men to see that this position is filled...
...they rush past. Sometimes they select the street, and frighten horses as they run by them, clad in airy gymnasium costume. This use of a principal street as a training ground is getting to be an intolerable nuisance, and should be stopped." Of course, we regret very much that Harvard men should be the cause of an "intolerable nuisance." although we have not been aware that our athletes were crowding persons from the walks and frightening horses in the serious degree that the Cambridge Tribune seems to indicate, yet we are sorry that Harvard men are troublesome...
President McCosh said at the beginning of his address, that he would not "compel students to attend religious services." Why then did he afterwards regret that "upward of eight hundred students at Harvard have asked that they be not required to attend prayers?" We cannot see the distinction between "compelling students to attend religious services" and their being "required to attend prayers," that Dr. McCosh seems anxious to make. Either there is some important distinction, or Princeton's president has been grossly illogical...
...evening services, which were very largely attended by the students. This year the same thing is being done. No longer do we have the privilege of listening to able preachers, whose words have done so much to inspire the men who hear them. We have heard words of regret spoken on every side by students who miss the Sunday evening exercises in Appleton Chapel. We sincerely hope that the faculty does not intend to discontinue wholly this time-honored custom...
