...students here first gained a complete familiarity with the Rugby game. This is certainly an apparently dismal outlook; but we do hope that every effort will be made to offset the bad effect of these defeats by victories in the future.

In addition to this it is intended to ask the class whether or not they prefer uniforms for the Republican torchlight procession.

Strange as it may seem, however, there are some men who prefer to avail themselves of the club's privileges without paying the merely nominal fee required. It has been decided to prevent this "dead-head" occupation of ours, that no person shall be allowed to use an association court unless prepared to show a certificate of membership, and it is hoped that this course will result both in increasing the membership of the club...
