There are certain requirements of gentlemanly behavior and etiquette which have been taught us by our forefathers at Harvard. It seems imperative at the beginning of each year to recall some of those and to proclaim that there is a tacit understanding that they be adhered to by all those who come here. One of these maxims is this: it is undignified--by some it might be called bad manners --to make unnecessary noises with the crockery, to throw food and make a general disturbance in a hall where a large number of gentlemen are in the habit of congregating...
...this is only the first game of the season after all, and while it gives a certain amount of confidence in the team and the coaches, it furthermore should awaken the responsibilities of this new class to the fact that there is also a string of defeats to be broken in the games with the Yale freshmen. The class of 1907 was the last to win their game from Yale and it is high time this record was changed. Yale also made a good start yesterday by defeating Andover in a close game. The Freshman season is short and every...

Such things have their place in various undergraduate communities where the college as a wholly unique social species is uppermost in the minds of all, and where the atmosphere is best described by the very word "college." We congratulate the University and as undergraduates congratulate ourselves that this pernicious institution has been permanently laid on the shelf...
...task before it is a big one. It will take a large amount of pressure to correct certain of the tendencies which it is proposed to alter and it will not be done in a day. An innovation such as this will require no little time to arrive at the most effective working basis, and the results must be considered accordingly. The encouragement received from the Athletic Committee will be of great assistance in the early months, but eventually the Council will work into its own particular relations with undergraduate life. There is no reason why they should not prove...
