...nursed, clothed and amused at the expense of the Athletic Association. Yet such is the case. Most members of teams seem to consider that the College owes them a debt, which must be paid off in this manner. The situation has been described as analogous to that of a certain type of lawyer, who, so soon as he has an important case, considers it as an opportunity for making a tour of investigation, travelling at his ease, stopping at the best hotels, and living in luxury at his client's expense. The real distinction between the two situations is that...
...unfairness to competitors and doing away with athletic subscriptions--the change would not be without its positive advantages. There would be a distinct gain from the fact that men abler and more representative than those ordinarily attracted by a competition, would be available. In every class there are a certain number of men, whose executive ability has been tested in other connections, whose personality has given them prominence; men too busy to undergo a long, tedious competition, but who would perform gladly and excellently the duties of a proffered managership.

Whatever the stand taken by certain men in regard to weekly papers, there unquestionably is a sense of moral turpitude attached to cheating in these examinations which are such an important factor in final grades. The temptation to cheat in the finals is of course proportionately stronger, and weighs particularly upon men whose connection with the College depends upon the outcome. None the less, complaints almost never reach the College Office, and in the past...
...having no connection with the College, nevertheless have the ill-fortune to live on or near Mt. Auburn street. The College authorities after a long period of inaction have suddenly roused themselves to the investigation of these complaints, and as a result stringent disciplinary measures have been visited upon certain disturbance-raisers. In other words, the time has come for this nocturnal noise to stop. The College has finally decided to make an example of certain students in order to show that it entirely disapproves of such performances...
