...this paper communications, or news concerning this University, or any of its members. Nevertheless, such is not only their privilege, but also, as students connected with the University, their duty. We have said that the college papers ought to take more notice of the Annex. We go a step farther and maintain that the young ladies of that institution ought to find considerable in the college papers to interest them. Aside from the athletic news in the papers, the greater part of the writing in the papers is on subjects relating to the University. We do not write...

In order to give full expression to the student feeling about the contemplated change, it is absolutely necessary that all who take any interest in the time honored sport which is threatened with suppression should be present...
...project of entirely abandoning foot ball, which has become one of our recognized college games, is worthy of the most careful consideration and discussion. The committee must have weighty reasons indeed to induce them to take such a step-a step a so contrary to the spirit of independence and intelligence in which we pass our college lives-and we think it right that these reasons should be made known before any hasty criticism of their action is attempted. We feel confident, however, that the students as a body will regret to find the faculty interposing in their sports...
