...sale at prices ranging from fifty cents upwards. To say nothing of this abuse of a privilege, which, in itself, is an insult to the members of the Confernnce Francaise, such a transaction can be called nothing else than dishonest. That a man who calls himself a gentleman should stoop to such low means of adding a few dollars to his purse, is inconceivable. We would warn the students against such men. It is to be hoped that their speculative scheme may prove unsuccessful...
...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 to the level of common rioters in the public streets?

This has its dangers. The danger is that it breeds a haughty reserve...
...Yale once more claims the college championship in rowing. How absurd this is. We should think that a college that can boast of so many real achievements would disdain to stoop to claiming what they have no right to. Yale rows but one race, and refuses all other challenges, and then claims the championship of all the colleges. If any college has a right to such claim, it is the University, for we have by far the best record of any. but we make no such claim...
