...Beta Kappa, Alpha of Massachusetts, crowned itself with laurel and avenged its former reverses of fortune, when it defeated the Yale chapter in the annual game on Soldiers Field Saturday afternoon. Broad-browed scholars who, though familiar with Newton's laws of motion, had never before tried the effect of willow on horse-hide, rose to the occasion and mashed the pill into a pulp. The result,--six runs in the first inning and seven more in the course of the game, while the visitors could barely nose out ten tallies. The features of the contest were Gilday's screaming...
...easy outward tolerance. Where a great many feel disgusted with men who do this or that or, with responsibilities to uphold, go on probation, very few show their disapproval. Tolerance is an essential of breadth; perhaps even a tolerance as wide as the undergraduate's is an essential, though it fails to hold backsliders up to the mark. But three-quarters of the men mentioned above and three-quarters of all men on probation are there because of indifference; and they must know that a very considerable proportion of the undergraduates look upon them with an inward irritation...

The first of these is that they are on their honor, as far as outside work is concerned, quite as much as though they had signed a written pledge, for on some such tacit understanding all our work in Cambridge is necessarily based. There is much annual insistence that outside work should be original, but that it is a matter of honor, quite as much as under a recognized honor system, and that strict adherence...
...Class Boat Races are scheduled for this afternoon. Time was when this event was the occasion of the gayest scene of the year along the Boston river front; in those days each class hired some kind of a craft which was suitably decorated, on which the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Though the races are today shorn of some of their external glory their real value remains. They are still a part of the broadening tendency toward general athletics...
