...very unfortunate that there ahould be any occasion for the infliction of such a punishment. It is rather a trite saying but it cannot be too strongly urged that the spirit which should govern all college sports is that of fair play and good faith. A high standard must be maintained and any resort to other than perfectly open means must be deplored as showing a decadence in the manly rivalry which is the life of college athletics...
...unfortunately, too trite that some men come to college who are unfit to stand alone, and who, therefore, would be palpably assisted by a code of school-boy rules; but it is a gross injustice to put more than a very small minority of college men in this class. The average collegian, though he may fall far short of his responsibility, is yet a better man for having had it imposed upon him, and college is quite late enough to learn of this responsibility.

...Prosper Bender writes on the "Holidays of the French-Canadians." Americans know so little on this subject that no one can find the article trite. "The French Colony of San Domingo," by Professor E. W. Gilliam, is especially timely as our attention is now drawn to that region. Two other interesting articles are unpublished letters by S. R.

"Francis Marion's Grave," "The Declaration of Independence," and "A trip from New York to Niagra in 1829," are among the other contributions...

Our old caution may sound too trite to be published again, but it is better to err on the right side, and so we warn the nine that only the most careful individual and team playing can win. We have a good nine, and we want that championship this year. We heartily congratulate the nine...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- Among the many trite and wearisome subjects which have been commented upon in your columns with varying success, there is one in regard to which all efforts would seem to have been unavailing. I allude to the moral so often drawn from the "old, old story" of Town and Gown. According to a little squib which perpetually appears in that weekly publication, the University Calendar, the front seats in Appleton Chapel are always (?) reserved on Sunday evenings for students alone until 7.30, at which hour all vacant seats will be filled by the surplus Cambridge people...
