...with the exception of some freshmen, scarcely a new man with any experience has attended the daily practice at the gymnasium. Yale's comparatively recent advance in this branch of athletics is due almost entirely to the faithful work of her teams and coaches. For the men to grow remiss in their duty in this direction now, points toward another retrogression. It must be evident that it is impossible for the team to attain success without more candidates, and above all, more general interest in the work...

...seat throughout the hall, only about seven hundred and fifty men could then be accommodated. Now there are in Memorial at present over eleven hundred men, and over a hundred names are on the waitinglist. If it is considered also that the number of applicants is sure to grow with every year, it seems highly probable that, a year from this coming fall, the number of men who will desire Memorial Hall board or its equivalent will not be less than fifteen hundred. If then the number in Memorial should be reduced to seven hundred and fifty, a second hall...
