...class tug-of-war work now being done, matters seem to be moving along but slowly with all four teams, and the seniors especially have been backward in bringing out good men. What all the classes really need is an infinite amount more of energy put into the work. Tug-of-war may not be the best kind of sport, but now that the classes have determined to have contests, they must show far more life than they have displayed...
When Mr. Sumner returned to America he gave the wig to the Law school and at the time asked Judge Storey to have it put in a case and preserved. But for some reason this care does not seem to have been taken. It was then kept for many years in the old Law school building (now the store of the Co-operative Society) but at length its associations seem to have been entirely forgotten. Mr. George S.

...cannot say how much truth there may be in these charges, but they seem to indicate that something is or has been wrong in the management.

...seem a small matter at best, but I see no advantage in a dual league except a trifling assurance that gentlemen ought not need nor ask for. If Yale and Harvard cannot hold games without red tape and cumbrous regulations they ought to "quit." The example of the English universities ought to put us to shame. Every feeling but a desire for good sport and fair play ought to be banished from our athletic fields. Since one conference has resulted in a majestic secret, I repeat, I believe more than half the college would favor no league but a tacit...
...appears that on the whole the number of dropped men has increased quite regularly during the last eight years. At present an average of one man in every eleven is dropped from the freshman class. Eight years ago there was only one man in eighteen dropped. These figures seem to show either that the rules have become more strict or the students more careless. Since the latter supposition is not very probable and we know that many new restrictions have been adopted, it is not improbable that the college has changed somewhat in this respect. That is to say: eight...
