...measures have been taken at almost all colleges by the students themselves to secure that privilege, as was the case first at Harvard. No suggestions have ever met with such unanimous approbation from the college press as those tending to this effect. Our exchanges from Yale, Princeton, Cornell, so seldom agreeing, have all agreed in this matter. Few facts could be more significant of the intellectual tendency of the coming generation today than this; for it will not be denied we think that the undergraduate sentiment of our college is a fair representative of the sentiment of the best minds...
...wear a jersey, mainly because she knows too well that this tell-tale jacket only becomes a good figure. Yet the difference in girth between the developed arm which graces a jersey and the undeveloped one which does not, in a girl of the same height and age, is seldom more than two inches, and often, even, than one, while the well-set chest outgirths the indifferent one by seldom over three inches.

Princeton has no Boston near at hand, and the captain knows just about what all his men are doing in the way of training, -indeed they have to train to stand so much daily...
...class for the pleasant features of class day, whether any one person cares to enjoy them or not, and the only way in which to repay this kindness is for all those who possess desirable quarters to permit of their being used when they are needed. It is very seldom that any damage whatever is done to a room, but if there should be, we feel sure that the gentlemen who use the rooms will see that everything is made right with the owner. This is one of the understood conditions in the borrowing. It is merely...
