...rumor of a speculation in the way of a new hall for university students calls properly for some comment from the college press. The Advocate, in its last number, felt the need of some extra accommodations in view of the large classes of late years, and we join with it most heartily in urging such an outlay on the part of the college. The present rumor should only serve to hasten some official action in the same line and to deliver future class-men from the tyranny of boarding houses and outside establishments. With the present limited accommodations the freshman...
...stored in the basements of the dormitories. Their performance in point of celerity and expertness could hardly be called satisfactory; yet the phenomenon of seeing the least heed paid by the college to the warning of words or of experience in this matter is so unusual as to deserve comment and praise.

If any, our own freshmen should be held responsible...
...success of our lacrosse team at Princeton yesterday certainly deserves more favorable comment than the college is accustomed to give to them. They won the flags over the University of New York, Princeton and Columbia last fall, and again hold the championship this season. By faithful training and systematic daily practice our team has forced its own way in spite of the sneers and satire of the college papers last fall, and are now proving to us how far we were in the wrong. The lacrosse men have never, so far as we know, solicited subscriptions, and have never received...
