...differed from our last summons, received exactly one year ago, in that the seal of the college which, if we remember rightly, is to be found at the left hand upper corner of the card, had undergone a change. Now, at the risk of appearing somewhat hypercritical, we would remark that the false heraldry displayed upon the card cannot fail to be painful to the eye of the conscientious student. It is bad enough to be summoned, but worse when that summons is stamped with a seal which certainly approaches more meanly the emblem of Yale than that of Harvard...
...directors of the foot ball association should meet and discuss plans for the improvement of the eleven. A complete and thorough reorganization of the team should be made. The college we have heard many persons say, is by no means satisfied at the personnel of the eleven. This remark applies especially to the rush line. Here is the greatest fault of the team.

The true teacher is a personal force that acts upon the pupil in a thousand ways not made manifest through the daily lessons.-[Amer. Queen...
...Dartmouth takes us to task for the prediction which we expressed a few weeks ago as to the result of the Dartmouth Harvard games. The remark was to the effect that to win the championship we must consider ourselves sure of the Dartmouth games. If these were lost, we should not have even a chance for the championship. To win, or even tie for first place both Dartmouth games would have to be won. "This position," says the Dartmouth, "appears slightly egotistical." We do not know exactly what definition the word "egotistical" may have at Dartmouth, but it is certainly...
