...position of the Yale crews recently editorially expressed, that the country at large - as represented by the daily press - seems to think that Yale undergraduates are interested in nothing but athletics - an erroneous idea for which newspaper correspondents and the ordinary speeches at alumni meetings, are largely to blame, receives many indorsements, the New York Tribune laying special emphasis on these sentiments. The steady improvement in Yale's scholastic atmosphere is much more than keeping pace with her athletic prestige - and the fact is realized here, if not elsewhere. Yale may not be successful in the next few debates...
...intention of the actor. It has been said that the sight of a beloved face in the audience used to inspire Booth, and put new warmth into his acting. He was by nature of the classic school, and he fell naturally into the poses, which caused many people to think of him as cold and statue like. In Mr. Booth's interpretation of the part of Hamlet, the points where you value the picture of the character most are first; in the scene where he follows the ghost from the stage, holding the hilt of his sword in front...

As a matter of simple justice to the gentleman who has been so attacked, I wish to quote the article in question; for I think that a calm and unprejudiced reading of it will convince Harvard men that there is nothing in the sentences to merit either the "censure of the entire University" or so extreme a charge as that which Professor de Sumichrast makes of "absolute falsehood." This is word for word all that the Advertiser says regarding the matter...
Whether last evening's vote of the Faculty is wise or not is to be seen in future years; whether they have really acted towards the prosperity of our beloved college remains yet to be proved. For the present at least the deed is done, and as we think, perhaps, one of our most manly sports has been torn from us. But are we actually in a position to question the wisdom of this action? Stop a moment and think; do we, as undergraduates only in this college, consider that we can judge, with that judgment that comes from experience...
