EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: -Leaving to be discussed by others, the question of the justice, right or expediency of the recent action of the Athletic Committee in dismissing Col. Bancroft from the position of coach of the crews, I wish to call attention to what seems to me to be strange inconsistency on the part of the Committee. Last year, when the question of having a paid director of field athletic sports was under discussion, the Athletic Committee of the Faculty announced, as I understand the matter, that if only a man like Col.

...part of the students. The approaching winter, with its promise of virtually opening the doors of Gore Hall, while the students are otherwise engaged, and of closing them before the students are disengaged, is well calculated to prove a dreary season, in more than one respect. It does not seem possible that any reasonable argument against the lighting of the library could be presented.

In English schools, the students are obliged to play foot ball, and in that country the game is, on account of the "hacking" and "tripping" that...
...large proportion of men lose their faith. But that a freethinking tendency exists here, stronger than in any other college, is painfully evident. There is no time in a man's life when he is so open to doubt as the years spent at college, and it would seem only right that as much regard should be paid to his religious belief as is possible. As a matter of fact, the only regard paid to it is to weaken it. A man enters chapel, and a monitor marks on a slip of paper that he has worshipped God according...
