...expectation, expressed by us a week ago, that at the adjourned meeting of the Overseers the three prayer petitions would be referred to a special committee, was realized yesterday morning. The names of the members of this committee we give on another page.

Hissing can never change a referee's decision, and the men who hissed last Saturday brought only disgrace upon themselves and the college. Gentlemanly conduct at athletic exhibitions...
...another column we gladly publish a communication which corrects an editorial in yesterday's issue. Our criticism was based on the report of the Convention which appeared in the Boston dailies. Because of the failure of the base-ball men in college promptly to correct this report, we unwittingly did injustice to Yale...
