...There are in every college class students who would attend chapel and church if the rules did not require them to do so. They are active in prayer meetings and other religious work that is optional, so to speak. Compulsion is to them no hardship. They do not fully understand the feelings of those who protest against it, nor do they take into account the inevitable effect of compulsion in the minds of those who unwillingly submit. It is from those who do not feel the weight of compulsion that instructors are selected, who are in course of time...
...committee, instead of trying to prohibit the game, consult with those among us who understand the game of foot ball, as to what changes in the rules will do away with the "brutal" part of the game, (for, as Prof. Byerly has said, and he probably voices the opinion of the other members of the Committee, the dangerous element of the game is the least objectionable, especially since that would be greatly done away with, if the "brutal" element were eliminated.)

Bancroft could be found to take charge of our field athletics, the faculty would be only too glad to appoint such a man. Thus, a year ago, Col. Bancroft was held up to us by the Athletic Committee as almost an ideal instructor...
...Cricket Association has given its consent to the Base Ball Association to use the cricket cap as a part of their nine uniform. We understand also that the Lacrosse Association has applied for permission, and we see no reason why it should not be adopted as a University cap for all University teams. The officers of the associations are complaining bitterly at the way in which individuals are promiscuously wearing the Cricket cap, and intend to adopt means to stop it. We do not see any reason why an individual should wear the cap, which is part of a University...
