...robbed of various amounts of money which have been left in them. We can only caution each one of his danger and trust that some one may be sharp enough to catch the thief in the act. Apparently Harvard must suffer continually from the thieving of men who seem to make a regular profession of picking pockets, lockers and in fact of appropriating to themselves whatever they can safely lay their hands upon. It is useless to waste words in trying to express the disgust and contempt which everyone feels for such specimens of humanity. It is supposed that...

She simply believes that, in the heat of enthusiasm, Yale was indiscreet in attempting to narrow her athletics down to a college basis; and this feeling is apparently strong even at Yale.

There are only three weeks before the games and all candidates ought to feel bound to take good care of themselves. New candidates are especially urged to try, for men who seem to give good promise for the future are certain to be given a trial. In fact, this will be about the only opportunity to judge the men before the severe work of the spring...
