Although the conduct of Harvard men in recitation rooms is proverbial for decorum, yet we regret to say that there are some little matters which ought to be of more concern to the students. Notably among the disturbances is the habit which some freshmen have of reading the morning papers in the lectures in English. A practice of this kind, insuiting as it is to the instructor, cannot be too strongly condemned. The applauding which is so frequently indulged in the Chemistry lectures has been spoken of before by the CRIMSON; but another reminder on the morning of the lecture...
...perhaps be appropriate, and anyone who has never played polo need not hesitate to try, his powers from the fear that he will be alone as a beginner. A sport in itself so full of skill, physical training and excitement ought not to be a matter of so little concern to the students. Of all of the different athletic games, it surely is the one in which the least general interest is taken. The autumn is the height of the polo season, and if anyone should feel interest enough to go out to the grounds and see the game...
...regard to the much discussed rush between the two lower classes, it should be said that, in so far as any ill feeling or danger to the participants was concerned, the affair was harmless and worthy but little attention.

...this decision. The question is settled. No amount of newspaper wrangling will after this decision of the convention. If it is any pleasure to Yale to host that she has won the championship, when the world knows she has not, let her enjoy this childish amusement. It does not concern us. When, however, she begins to quote Harvard, and Harvard opinion, a little more regard for the truth must be shown. Princeton undoubtedly prolonged the Thanksgiving game with useless wrangling. Did it ever occur to Yale that she is now doing the same sort of thing which she so strongly...
...Hemenway Gymnasium was built, it was thought that the accommodations thus afforded would be sufficient to meet the wants of the students for many years to come. At that time the supposition was certainly warranted, for the athletic spirit among the students was a matter of much less concern than at present. Since that day the attention paid to general athletics has grown to proportions which would astonish a student of that time. The provisions made for furnishing lockers to the students were found to be inadequate to the demand as early as last year, and now the increased supply...
