...brought about this year if the students will only respond in a reasonable manner to the requests of the manager for subscriptions. The nine, working so faithfully for victory in May and June, ought not to be handicapped by a lack of funds for legitimate expenses. We understand that the freshman class in particular have been especially remiss in subscribing to this important and favorite sport. Some members of the class have even gone so far as to say that they, as freshmen, did not feel called upon to lend their support to university sports. Only...
...present arrangements, a new book can be out, and kept out for the regular time of four weeks; yet, I think, there is a much greater demand for new books, than for any other.

It would seem therefore that the stories of Yale enthusiasm, passing from mouth to mouth...
...members of the faculty were interviewed by representatives of the CRIMSON, yet, in each instance, the only information elicited was to the effect that they had, as yet, nothing to say about the newly adopted regulations. Just why this mysterious state of affairs should exist, it is difficult to understand, inasmuch as the decision of the faculty meeting is final, and therefore bound to become public in a short time...
