...large. One reason of their failure lies, apparently, in the fact that Captain Coolidge would not allow the 'Varsity men to play upon their class nines after the first games, as it interferes with their practice. Another reason is that the captains were not obliged to play upon certain dates, whether they were ready or not. One nine might have been ready to play on the day agreed upon, and if the opposing nine did not appear, the game was not forfeited. To insure success next year, the dates for all the games must be arranged early in the season...
...Necessity, Legacies or Gifts, and Public Opinion. Of these, necessity is the strongest, legacies act the most quickly, and public opinion is the weakest and takes the longest time in producing its results. But when it takes such a positive form as a general refusal to live in a certain building, it makes itself felt more promptly. It has taken only six or eight years of continual talk among the students and constant complaint in the College papers, to make it evident to the authorities that something must be done about Thayer. This year, finding that, notwithstanding the reduction...
...courses is "unwarrantably severe." We think, on the contrary, that the Faculty have very good grounds for their action. The electing of some eighteen or twenty hours a week up to the time of the semi-annuals, or later, and the constant changing from one course to another, are certainly injurious to the student himself, and are also a source of great annoyance at the office. As to the fact that it is impossible to obtain good marks under certain instructors, it would seem as if the proper way to avoid this difficulty would be by specifying the courses...
...must earnestly protest against the zeal which certain instructors displayed in the manner of conducting recitations during such weather as that of last week. Faithfulness to one's department is admired by none more than by us. But even in faithfulness, there is a golden mean. Some instructors did have the kindness to dismiss their sections after a short recitation. Others, however, persisted in keeping their sections crowded together, without regard to health, as though students were so many sheep. This may be endurable in some rooms, but in University, especially U. E. R., it is too much for instructors...
...yours; but you, as well as others, are mad, mad as any one in a lunatic Asylum. Why? Well, of course, different people show their insanity in different ways. If you should ask me how you show yours, I might tell you that you have an abnormal leaning - towards certain mad tendencies. You crook out your elbows; you part your hair in the middle; you brush it down flat upon your temples (such foolishness as school-girls only used to be capable of); you never by any chance confess an interest in anything except tennis and Germans. Indifference, I believe...
