...explained, perhaps by the fact that hazing seemed to be looked upon by the students as a matter of course. There is now nothing but a deliberate attempt on the part of a few members of the University-we are glad to believe they are few-to show how foolish and how mean a spectacle they can make of themselves. Public intoxication on the part of those who do not profess to be gentlemen is strongly condemned-what shall we say of those who do profess to be such, and who usually desire the title, if they stoop...

...about time that the follies of the first term should be cast aside and some work accomplished. The class of '90 made an unenviable reputation in base-ball, and if '91 is trying to follow that illustrious example she can do no better than continue on her present foolish course. The members of the freshman class can deal with the matter after the defeats have come, but now the whole responsibility lies on those who are fit candidates for the team...
