...this decision. The question is settled. No amount of newspaper wrangling will after this decision of the convention. If it is any pleasure to Yale to host that she has won the championship, when the world knows she has not, let her enjoy this childish amusement. It does not concern us. When, however, she begins to quote Harvard, and Harvard opinion, a little more regard for the truth must be shown. Princeton undoubtedly prolonged the Thanksgiving game with useless wrangling. Did it ever occur to Yale that she is now doing the same sort of thing which she so strongly...
...Hemenway Gymnasium was built, it was thought that the accommodations thus afforded would be sufficient to meet the wants of the students for many years to come. At that time the supposition was certainly warranted, for the athletic spirit among the students was a matter of much less concern than at present. Since that day the attention paid to general athletics has grown to proportions which would astonish a student of that time.

Thus a principle which is well meant, and is intended to prevent objectionable features in athletics, is vicious in its tendencies, and its advantages are outweighed by its objectionable results...
...lines. Therefore no student returning to college this fall we presume has failed to notice the change made by the wise and weighty legislators of this town in the name of this famous way from Brighton street to Boylston street. What were the motives for the change does not concern us. We can merely remark with sorrow that the change has been made. In the future when old graduates return to these classic haunts on class day or commencement, and in remembrance of past days of jollity cause the air to resound with the words...
