...understand that the idea of a memorial to Dean Shaler in the Union has met with opposition from the authorities of the Union. The chief ground of objection seems to be that a precedent would be started which would in time turn the Union into a species of mausoleum, and would detract from the home-like aspect of its interior. We feel that such fears are groundless. Dean Shaler's position in the University was so unique, that there will be few men whose claim for a memorial in the Union can be based upon the precedent...
...regard to the statement that there were not enough seats in the cheering section at the last Yale game, we understand that this year several sections along the third base line will be sold only as cheering sections for the first few days of the sale.

...Yale News was represented at the dinner by W. G. Davis, Jr., '08. As the the public understand it, said Mr. Davis, there are varying periods of friendship between Harvard and Yale, but it spite of what the papers say, the sentiment of the undergraduates has not changed in the slightest during the past year. The joy was unanimous when the news was brought to New Haven of the report of the Governing Boards in favor of athletics at Harvard, and there is no reason why friendship should not continue as it has hitherto. We have the same ideals...
