...been characterized as unfair and unsportsmanlike. There is of course another side to this, but it is interesting to note the efforts which are being taken to bring about a race and the possible outcome. Cornell certainly considers the time ripe to make a stand and if possible to assert her rights to be considered on an equal footing with Harvard and Yale in aquatics. It is hardly possible however that she could induce either college to favor a triangular race for next June. If Cornell is to race at all it is more likely that her chance will...
...institution which must be, but which he thinks have no place in his every day life, and that the time spent in attending them would be but a waste on his part. It may perhaps be too strong to apply this to college men in general, or to assert that they think attendance at prayers unmanly; but it is true that the average undergraduate is lamentably indifferent in this respect.

It is right and proper that, when men so far forget themselves as to break training publicly, the college or class, as the case may be, should assert its rights and demand that its representatives respect those laws which govern training. We regret deeply that any such action is called for, but as long as there is a high standard of honor to be kept up in college athletics just so long should we discourage and put down...
...help to good government. It must be admitted that a system which has achieved so much for mankind cannot be lightly dismissed in deference to anybody's criticism. All great measures have been the work of parties and party government means movement, stability and responsibility. But no one would assert that the party system is perfect. However, nothing has been found which would take the place...
