...willing to decorate their rooms at the expense of a college institution, that such contemptible practices will not be tolerated. Though, of course, a man who is willing to proclaim himself a college thief from the walls of his room is beyond the influence of mere sentiment. For our part we guarantee that one "baby," whose name we have, shall stop this display of puerile aesthetics; and we will do the same for others detected at this small business if well-disposed students will send us their names...
...writer is convinced that there is much work for the reformer in the field of college sports; but can our college faculties remedy an evil whose causes lie in the decline in college sentiment?

If a man is trusted he is ashamed to forfeit the confidence reposed...

Hitherto one great difficulty in the way of reform in our college sports has been that at Yale, where the athletic championship has lain, public sentiment has been unwilling to admit that the need of reform existed. Thus it was the position of the Yale authorities that checked our faculty in its earlier attempts to improve athletics, and the Yale papers have never, within recollection, advocated athletic reforms. Under these circumstances an article from a Yale pen, calling...
