...past year the constitution has been amended twice, once to allow members to charge their restaurant and tobacco accounts, and again to provide for participating life members. The clause relating to participating life membership now reads as follows: "A student finally leaving the University, may become a participating life member by the payment of $10 at the time of application for such membership, and by signing at the same time an agreement to pay within the period of four years thereafter, $40, in annual instalments of not less than $10 each...

Rude men, of uncouth speech spiced with damns and tobacco juice; tell of beasts of fabulous dimensions and behavior, without fear of the "malleus naturfakerorum."

This decidedly extra-University element has certainly developed undesirable proportions. Theoretically there is no objection to orderly visitors who desire to watch our practice, but the unpleasant evidences of the tobacco chewing habit left in the Stadium by the older enthusiasts, and the utter disregard of the younger element for the rights of others, make their presence a nuisance. One afternoon last week a team composed of eleven schoolboys held practice in the area between the Locker Building and the Freshman...
