...compare them and inquire why it is that this particular college occupies a higher position than that. They are all engaged in similar work, have the same end in view, and teach mainly the same subjects. Why is it then that this one assumes, and has a right to assume, a title of supremacy over all the others? At first there seem to be many causes that act together to give this result. Fortunate location, rich endowments, noted professors, are some of them. One of the principal causes of college supremacy, however, is found in the students. These young...
...hitch and kick and the horizontal bar contest was still in progress. Reynolds, C. S., and Lempe, M. S., the two principals, and their seconds, Furness '88, and Sternburgh, '87, came out with their long dueling swords.

Let us hope that the authorities who are so eager that we shall tread in straight paths, will at least make them easy...
...Yale once more claims the college championship in rowing. How absurd this is. We should think that a college that can boast of so many real achievements would disdain to stoop to claiming what they have no right to. Yale rows but one race, and refuses all other challenges, and then claims the championship of all the colleges. If any college has a right to such claim, it is the University, for we have by far the best record of any. but we make no such claim...
