...average attendance at daily morning chapel was 195 during the pastorate of Rev. Phillips Brooks, and 175 during that of Rev. Geo. Gordon up to to day. That so slight a decrease should be shown in this number during the month of most absorbing outside interests and blustering weather, is one of the greatest proofs of the wisdom of providing that such attendance be voluntary...
...that too among the representatives of the class on the team. They claim that the election was contrary to precedent, and as they have the back-bone of the coming team in their class, and among them many competent to captain the team, there was no call for the slight given to the class.

Yale may "boss" her Faculty: other colleges have not yet got quite so far, as witness the entire suspension of Inter collegiate foot-ball at Harvard last year. In view of Yale's course last year and this year, to indict us for failure in an impossible effort to induce our Trustees and Faculty to gratify Yale in the revival of a rule in whose suspension Yale herself acquiesced willingly enough last year, is just a little...
