...Columbia men to wonder how it was possible for Harvard to out-play Princeton, but had our New York friends succeeded in touching-down once behind our goal instead of ten times behind their own they might have found out that things are not always what they seem, and their ideas of defeating Harvard might have met with a decided shock. Next year our foot-ball prospects seem still more brilliant, for we have promise of good players and plenty of support. The Yale-Harvard game on Thanksgiving day will keep the excitement up until the very...
...communicate officially to the students their wishes and opinions? In other colleges this is done, to a greater or less extent, by announcements made in chapel by the president or some other officer of the government. Is not some such a device possible here? If this does not seem the best way, the faculty could print official notices in the college papers, which would have the same effect.

"Ornamental editors" are by no means an anomaly, and we doubt, if the facts, in this instance, at least, can ever be successfully disproved, even by the editors of the Crimson...
...country, and attract the professional roughs with their betting and drinking to the grand show, in all of which study is neglected, and must be neglected, is an abomination of the first order. It is a shame that college presidents are actually promoting this demoralizing system. It would seem as if these worthies thought that colleges were instituted to collect a crowd of young bloods together that they might have a high time. No wonder so many young men cannot go to college because all this high living is so costly. If they refuse to pay the taxes...
