...opinion seems to exist at Yale that "the revival of foot-ball at Harvard ought not to be regarded as diminishing our (Yale's) chances of success, but rather as an opportunity of scoring another victory." This opinion may be regarded as "merely an expression of individual opinion," and is therefore of the greatest value as such! We learn, however, from the same competent authority that "some of the strongest men on the last foot-ball team will be left to retrieve Yale's former prestige." Harvard's reputation, alas, is rapidly becoming a mere shadow and an exhalation...
...student seeks a flaming sword to hold him in the path of right, here it is, two-edged at that. While some disciples (or leaders?) of reform are for abolishing that servile committee of surveillance, the proctors, and while, moreover, this reform has already been tried with success in some of the higher courses, perhaps a too hasty change would be inadvisable.

For a large part of this enthusiasm in the study of our tongue the English department is distinctly responsible, and all praise must be given to them for their share in bringing this about. We would congratulate the Advocate on its success in this latest venture. It is a thing that has long proved successful in other college publications and has generally succeeded in producing as good results as it has done in this case.

A. and Mr. Lathrop, success in track athletics and a position on the team is a matter of personal worth and perseverance...
...college buildings, the cry of "no money." And "no money" it will doubtless be, until Gore Hall falls a mass of ruins upon the spot which it has failed to enlighten. We feel some-what like the friends of our religious home missions when told of the success of their brethren of the foreign missions. Yet when the abuses at present existing in the college, simply (so affirmed) because of a lack of funds to obviate them, are once brought before us, we cannot but wonder how the claims of a foreign school can be preferred to those...
