...recent 'Varsity game. The conduct of the Yale team, it cannot be denied, was in general ungentlemanly and altogether reprehensible. The conduct of the Yale papers since the game has been equally bad or even worse. But not all this, we think, affords our contemporary any justification for the brutal fashion in which it turns upon the visitors from Yale and dubbs them "Connecticut roughs." Bad as has been the conduct of Yale in this matter, and deserving of censure as the college may be for upholding and even praising the conduct of its team, we cannot without a protest...
...venerable tradition, we are uninformed. To Americans certainly this report will naturally suggest unamiable reflections and perhaps unavoidably will prompt odious comparisons. Beside such a scene as this, hazing, with all its attendant horrors, dwindles into insignificance, We venture to assert that nowhere in America has such a brutal and disgraceful performance ever taken place at any of our colleges. The tu-quoque argument will not relieve Americans from any of the blame for the evils of hazing, but it certainly can tend to reduce the magnitude of our offences in the eyes of a stern and unsympathizing public...

Neither do we wish to see fulfilled the prophesy of the Yale man, who said after the game Saturday, "You call our playing a mucker game, but you will have to come to it if you ever expect to beat...
...desire to express our entire concurrence with our E. C. the Spectator in regard to the arrangements for a four-mile race. Were our oarsmen prize fighters and professional athletes four miles would be the correct distance for the race; but as they are not, we consider that distance brutal, and advocate most sincerely the adoption of a three-mile race. - [Acta...
HARDLY CORRECT.Thirteen Harvard students have been suspended by the faculty for brutally hazing some fellow-students. Crow Dog is also to be suspended for hazing Spotted Tail with a revolver. As Crow Dog never graduated at an American university, we are at a loss to understand where he acquired such brutal practises, but he ought to be hung all the same. The name of the tribe to which the suspended Harvard students belong is not given. - [Texas Siftings.] This item is hardly correct. They were Trinity students. But Siftings can keep the item in type. It's likely...
