...ones set in their places. Mr. T. S. Perry has unearthed a new god in the person of Ebenezer Jones, for whose poems he wishes us to make a place, even if we have to thrust aside "some of his more successful rivals, who are admired simply because they happen to be the fashion." Mr. Perry is an eloquent and skillful advocate, but we must not forget that "fashion" in such matters is usually right: if it makes a favorite of one poet, it is because he has something to say or, at least, says nothing in an attractive manner...
...practice games can be arranged which would be as interesting as the championship games have been. In games with the smaller colleges we have everything to lose and nothing to gain. A victory over them is immediately forgotten, and the nine receives no credit for it. But if we happen to drop a game to them the nine is condemned in the strongest terms.

...Bursar also, has entire charge of the matter, and as we understand the affair, application has several times been made to him for permission to have new lockers constructed. This most reasonable request has been refused, because, forsooth, if these lockers were built, it might possibly happen that all of them would not be taken, and thus a needless expense would devolve upon the already overburdened treasury of the college. Alas, poor college...
