...came up here, fully seventy-five men accompanied them, and they certainly found it more difficult to leave college than our men will, since they have but six cuts a term and for every absence from a recitation they receive a mark of zero. Why does not eighty-nine show some enthusiasm in this matter and encourage their nine to repeat the success they met with four weeks ago? Let every man in the freshman class who can possibly leave college, go and do his share towards aiding the nine to win the game, and keep the Yale freshmen...
...championship game is a disgrace to the college. What if the Brown game did come during the examination period? If the game had been with Yale or Princeton, no amount of examinations would have prevented the students turning out in a body to witness it: and to show such a want of enthusiasm as was shown in Tuesday's game is a discourtesy to Brown which we cannot pass over in silence. Brown is one of the smaller colleges, and therefore cannot be expected to present such a thoroughly picked nine as Princeton, Yale, or Harvard, and besides...
...women. Not only did the trustees freely accord this right to women, but they also conferred on one of that sex an honorary degree. The woman who received this mark of distinction is Miss Winifred Edgerton. She has for some time been studying in the Columbia Observatory.

...nine. It is unfortunate, to be sure, that the game takes place in the very midst of the examinations, but there are certainly many men who are not so engaged on Saturday; and these men should make it a point of duty, as well as of pleasure, to show confidence in the nine by attending at the game. And eighty-nine must show this confidence, if she wants the nine to do anything. It is true that the record made thus far by the nine is far from satisfactory; but they have shown in the first game with Yale, what...
...announcement has appeared in our columns relating to Honors in Physics. This is an innovation tending only the more forcibly to show the spirit of liberalism which pervades the faculty with regard to college studies. The study of physics is now put on an equal footing with the classics and mathematics, and all students who have any decided inclination for the study of physics should devote more time to this course than has hitherto been done. The faculty have shown their willingness to foster the growth of a college course which seemed only to lack an incentive...
