...business of the Convention then took a moral turn, and a committee of three - Thayer, Whitridge, and Hartwell - were appointed by the chair to stop pool-selling at the regatta. The next vote, as showing that all colleges are unanimously resolved to row as gentlemen, and to avoid all professional tricks or any dealings with professionals, was the most important one passed during the day. It was introduced by Mr. Moses, of Cornell, and reads as follows...
...calls, to give up the habit. It is, no doubt, conducive to harmony and strict time to be interrupted by a well-meant but misplaced war-whoop; but the members of the Parietal Committee prefer to take their music straight. In short, the singing in the Yard must stop, unless the window-critics can refrain from their customary vociferous applause.

If the application...
...shall all reap from the convention. College journalism will receive a new impetus, the funny men can get up a "corner" on jokes, the light and heavy prose men can "bull" or "bear" their respective productions, while the poets can derive more fire from the others' fervor. But why stop here, and thus deprive the rest of the world of this feast of reason? Now that the project is set on foot, let it be expanded till it takes in the editors of all college papers everywhere. Even this will not be enough, we fear. No editor of any kind...
