We sincerely hope that no one will feel the worse for our remarks, least of all any members of the team for whose benefit our criticisms are made...
...meeting of marshalls of '87 and '88 to take action on a letter received from the Faculty asking that the rush between the Sophomore and Freshman classes be given up, the feeling was entirely in sympathy with the request.
