...than one communication upon this matter and therefore feel justified in speaking of it at this length. Many men are too apt to underrate the invaluable aid to young men of proper social relations during collegiate life. We thus account for the evolution of the anomalous "grind," whose ideas self-centred, soon warp him into a something, an aliquid, repulsive to himself and repellant to the community. We understand that much personal experience from various sources has entered into "the makeup" of this paper, it certainly will touch personally more than a few of those who read it. We thank...

Two-thirds of the expense of track sports is met by subscriptions, as is half of the expense of maintaining the Yale field. The university baseball and foot-ball teams are nearly self-supporting, but they occasionally call for one or two hundred by subscription. Lawn tennis is self-supporting, and generally turns a small balance over to the field corporation. The expense of the spring and fall class races is met wholly by subscription, as is also the expense of sending...
