...published, a day or two ago, a clipping concerning alleged secrecy in our athletics. We are glad to see from the Yale Courant, that the secrecy long in use at Yale is in a fair way to become abolished. It was impossible a year ago for any one of the plebs, as we might say, to obtain information about the progress of the teams, - "not even enough to base a sensible bet on," says the Courant moodily. If the bets alluded to were those made by Yale men last spring, we must allow that the Courant is quite correct...
...many ills for which other reasons are assigned. It has been thought by many that tobacco smoking occupied a prominent place in the production of dyspepsia, but a large number of facts do not seem to warrant this belief as a general rule. In almost every case the use of alcohol has been joined with the use of tobacco in bringing on this trouble.

According to this highly tinted fiction, Harvard is a hot-bed of incipient Nihilism and irreligion. Let us look at the question of irreligion for a moment...
...characters of the play were supported with great formality. It will be remembered that at the representation of "Oedipus" in Sanders' Theatre, the actors made all the use they could of earnest and vigorous action and elocution. The Cambridge students, however, delivered their speeches in a calm dignified manner, apparently with the desire to imitate yet more closely the dramatic style in Greek tragedy. The chief parts were played by young men of marked athletic beauty, and the costumes, although not as accurate and well draped as those in our "Oedipus," were good. The part of Pallas Athene, was played...
