...students to act as it were hand in hand with our other advantages here. If, then, athletics are for the students rather than for the world, it seems but fair that the students should reap the benefits of the games.

...Saturday was received sufficiently demonstrates. There is little need that we extend congratulation to the nine through this column. The manifestation of the joy which every man in the university feels on account of the victory is too emphatic to call for any expression from us to make it understood.
