...total enrollment is 829, divided as follows: Resident graduates 41, seniors 97, juniors 145, sophomores 178, freshmen 323, special students 45. For residence New York claims 497, Pennsylvania 54, Ohio 53, and every state in the Union with the single exception of Arkansas has a delegation of larger or smaller number. A change has been made in the calendar by which the summer vacation is somewhat lengthened, although the other vacations are so shortened that the length of the college year remains unchanged. The list of resident officers of instruction and administration numbers...
...opinions expressed. It is our belief that much of the ill feeling which is shown between the rival colleges is due more to misrepresentation and misunderstanding than to any other cause. We have tried to keep our columns free from the continual petty wrangling seen in many of our smaller exchanges and which is useful only to the managing-editor for filling space. In this attempt to stop unnecessary debating and quarrelling, especially between Harvard and Yale, we have been ably seconded by the News and doubtless in the future will be met more than half way on the path...
...true inwardness of Yale's position in the base-ball question is beginning to be understood at New Haven, for the determination of Princeton and Harvard to leave her to contest with the smaller colleges, if she does not see fit to join them, has begun to work consequences of no little moment.

Although the college has voted once for all not to join the triangular league, still another meeting will probably be called...

The resignations of Princeton and Harvard will be submitted and Yale will probably follow suit. The smaller colleges intend to incorporate Dartmouth and Columbia with their league if they can get them. Dartmouth will doubtless join them, but Columbia has already signified her intention to go with Princeton and Harvard. There will probably be no news in the matter until the meeting Friday, when the colleges withdrawing will immediately decide upon the constitution...
...foot-ball conventions (Captains Camp, Walden, Terry, Richards, Peters and Corwin) opposed the plan strongly on the ground that Yale would be one in three. But the cause of the opposition which grew up among the majority of men was both a sympathy for the interests of the smaller colleges and a prevailing opinion that while Yale had little to gain by the change she had all to lose. For these two reasons, then, Yale has acted as she has, and as to whether she is willing to enter any new league, consisting of a larger yet limited number...
