...York, on account of a faculty regulation. So she played in New Haven. This year the regulation still exists, the rumor mentioned in the article to the contrary. It would seem proper, therefore, that Yale should take her turn, and play the game at Princeton. It is, to say the least, a slightly indelicate proceeding, to send delegates to have a part in a friendly meeting, and then directly they return, repudiate their actions, and take a needless stand. We sincerely hope the correspondent of the Globe has been misinformed...
...Yale should give them the benefit of playing on their own grounds, and that as Princeton had come to New Haven to play Yale, last fall, it was simple justice for Yale to go to Princeton this year.

...wish to say a kindly word to the freshmen. There exists in Harvard a tendency, or peril which has been called indifference, scepticism and other names are equally indefinite. It shows itself mainly in a frozen demeanor among the upperclassmen toward each other as well as toward the freshmen. Freshmen not being accustomed to such strange ways of evincing affectionate feeling, are troubled by this coldness. We simply give them a word of comfort and warning. They must not be discouraged. The upperclassmen really think a great deal of them, and would show it if they dared. But they...
