...whole afternoon; a man is more inclined to reading in the evening than earlier in the day, when exercise and recreation call him out of doors. I shall not take more time adding to the arguments in favor of having the library lighted in the evening, but wish to suggest that some active measures be taken to convince the faculty of our earnestness in this matter. If a petition signed, as it certainly would be, by every man in the University, were presented to the faculty, perhaps they would consent to give us lights in the reading-room at least...
...showed in this instance and throughout the entire game that, crippled as they were, they were too strong for the Princeton men. The excuse offered amounts to saying that they would undoubtedly have won if they had not been beaten-which none of us can deny; we can only suggest that there might have been a tie.

But it may seem that the smallest of the sums named is large for a poor man. It may be believed...
...impossible to get much valuable practice during the first week of the term on account of the poor physical condition of the men, and it therefore becomes necessary to be some what easy in the work until they be come somewhat used to it. We would therefore suggest and urge the men who were on the team, and all those who are intending to try for it, to begin their training two or three weeks before the college opens. They can do this by dieting and by taking long walks and gymnastic exercises of other kinds. This will not take...
