...seems to be pretty well established that there will be no new dining hall next year. There can be no doubt that the present system in use at Memorial is unsatisfactory, particularly that part of it relating to the assignment of club tables. It is either unfair or it is very hard luck that some men should be compelled to sit at general tables the whole of their college career, while others have the privilege of holding club tables during their entire course.

Old John is old and feeble enough as he is; let him have every chance...
...Cornell freshmen requested Capt. Ives that Yale use her influence to have Cornell admitted to the race. The fact, however, that the course over which the race will be rowed is unfair for four boats, and scarcely fair for three on account of the currents, will prevent Cornell from taking part in the race...
