...Your action would be a little more justifiable if your victories exceeded ours. As it is, you act the part not of disappointed and beaten rivals so much as that of cowards. It is, no doubt, exceedingly mortifying to the wearers of the crimson to have Yale and Princeton defeat our nine and suffer defeat themselves at its hands. Harvard has gained an unenviable reputation in the past for grumbling at the result of athletic contests where she has failed to be victorious and she has strengthened it lately.

...evening of November 28, nearly the whole body of students of Adelbert College, formerly the Western Reserve College, indulged in a forbidden traditional frolic termed by them a "tempus."

The resolutions were presented to the faculty, whose response...

A tradition impelling men who in any way speak for or are so situated as to represent the university in any way, to always act and speak in a courteous and gentlemanly manner, has long existed. It is not, we hope, about to die out. The last number of the Crimson plainly, but unwittingly, we hope, violates this tradition, and induges in an unseemly slur upon the reputation for gentleman-liness of the visitors from Yale to our recent 'Varsity...
