...players on the Harvard eleven have been changed about constantly during the past fortnight; so much so that when asked the other day who were going to play against Princeton on Saturday, I was obliged to guess at the team, and, with one or two exceptions, probably guessed wrong. But the captain of the 'Varsity eleven probably knows what is best for the interests of Harvard in foot-ball, and will, I trust, forgive me for "letting off steam."

...reply has been very large indeed. To my surprise, out of a class of two hundred and thirty-five men actually in residence, two hundred and nineteen, or ninety-three per cent., have sent reports. Am I wrong in supposing that this very general "readiness to tell" is itself a sign of upright conduct...

Such selfishness is most unworthy, as every one must admit, and yet if such is the popular opinion, why do men continue the course which they have marked out as right for themselves, but wrong for others? In order that the evil here may be eradicated we appeal to all to remember the privileges of all the students and not their own private desires alone. If our appeal will prove of no avail, the matter will be with the college authorities who we trust will...
