...recent game with Princeton no goals were kicked by either side, and touch-downs did not count. From this it is conclusively proved that Yale has the right of dictating terms next year...
...know, but wait and see. It is a new thing, and attractive from its novelty, but I tell you a feeling is rising against it. Your cousin Ned writes from Exeter that most of his class and of the class below him are going to Yale. That is a new step for Exeter, and what does it mean?

The Editors of the Courant are disturbed in their minds because what they "considered a harmless joke - to the effect that there were twenty insane persons in the Senior Class - has been copied, in sober earnest, into nearly every college paper, large or small, in the country." The characteristic American amusement of telling untruths which are not meant to be believed...
