...crews and teams which engage in intercollegiate contests. But the amounts affixed to subscription papers represent only a portion of the expenses imposed upon the undergraduates. Any one who reads the college papers must be struck with the perennial exhortation not only to give, give, when the subscriptions are backward, but to journey in this, that or the other direction - 150 miles it may be - in order to "support" the home team on a distant field.

There are other social relations beyond those...
...accepted and published if deemed of sufficient merit. It is desired that the competition be made as general as possible, and for this reason we again publish this request. Considerable interest has already been manifested, but we wish that it may be still more widespread. Let no student feel backward about contributing since an equal opportunity is afforded to all. The training obtained is highly valuable in being purely that of practical journalism...
