Harvard does not, as Princeton's manifesto seems to indicate, deny that Princeton has complied with all the technicalities of the law governing intercollegiate athletics. Indeed she seems to have been unscrupulously careful concerning these since they were her only safeguard. But it must not be forgotten that she has at the same time disobeyed the spirit of the law. If, for example, her players had been above reproach surely the manly and ultimately the least compromising course would have been for her to submit them to the oral examination and then to have urged the technicality...
...point of view he is powerless to change the schedule arranged by the convention, and that therefore the Harvard-Yale game must take place in New York. As Harvard cannot play in New York, Yale will have victory without a struggle. The constitution of the association is the only safeguard of the Yale management; its technical declared void, common justice, not to mention the agreement of Messrs Gill and Beecher last year, would leave but one course open to Yale.

But though play should make a part of every man's life, it should not make the whole of it. A third use of leisure is devotion to literary pursuits, without any result of consequence springing therefrom. Such a life gives...
...their honor. The police and detective system in our colleges is altogether too prominent. The manhood of the students is not sufficiently recognized. We believe that this pernicious system fosters dishonesty, and that if it did not exist the moral sentiment of the college would be a stronger safeguard against the contemptible measures of a few unprincipled fellows-they do not deserve the name of men or students-than the most careful surveillance of an army of proctors. If a man is trusted he is ashamed to forfeit the confidence reposed in him; but if he is suspected and watched...
