...evil, which seems perfectly obvious, how is it to be done away with? We have said that no rule can justly be passed. The remedy cannot be a sudden one, subverting the whole system at one blow. It seems to us that the cure lies rather in a slow but steady raising of the standard of college honor. Not many years ago there was little opposition to practical jokes in the class room or to the most open cheating in examinations. The jokes have gone and the petty cheater is now looked upon as mean and contemptible. These things have...
...extent that the ordinary student rather laughs at light gymnastics. Yet this view of the matter is illogical and absurd. In an educational institution the body should be trained as much as the brain and much in the same way, not by spasmodic and violent exercise, but by slow, careful, intelligent drill. Obviously football, baseball and rowing are not the most important factors in the physical development of all the students for they cannot be practiced very generally. Gmynastics can be done by nearly everybody and they furnish the great road to sound bodies, which are as important as sound...

The following freshmen played: O'Connor, centre; Shaw, Hovey, guards; Scannell, Watson, tackles; Barton, Pitts, ends; Dean, quarter; Pillsbury, Stanton, half-backs; Weld, fullback...
...depended upon to make these three men, as a combination, the peers of any on the football field. These hopes, however, have not been fulfilled. Hickok seems to be more agile than McCrea, but he leaves his position open much more than is pleasing to the coaches. McCrea is slow and gives no aid in the interference, his tackling at times is good, but at present his work is discouraging. Stillman shows no improvement over last year...
