Cornell is making a bad precedent in importing a mummy. Most colleges get them easier. They are usually harvested after dark and are not always as well preserved as the Cornell scion of the Pharaohs. The students use their scalpels upon them at five dollars a head. Some of the mummies sit in professor's chairs and are nominally alive. These have enough stale jokes in stock to make the average collegian atone for the fun he gets out of it. [Syracuse Standard...
...recent conference on athletics we are glad to be able to say, is likely to result in furnishing many undergraduates whose minds were previously more or less in the dark in regard to the present attitude of the college authorities on the subject, with a more or less definite idea of the views held by some of the more influential members of the faculty, and presumably therefore by the faculty in general. We also hope that the knowledge by the faculty of the views of a large proportion of the students on the matter of professionalism as expressed...
...Transcript is responsible for the statement that "Yale has got the Smithsonian Institution Government fixed again in her interest as against Harvard's." What this dark hint may mean we cannot fathom.

Why Harvard should wish such control it is not easy to see. No, the Transcript is engaged in a very reprehensible business in fomenting jealousy between Yale and Harvard by dropping...
Harvard College loses a picturesque figure by the death of Professor Sophocles, who, in personal appearance and habits, was a veritable type of the antique. Gray and hirsute, his dark complexion and piercing eyes gave him a weird aspect, and he passed his days and nights in one corner of a college dormitory in lone communion with the spiders which he was wont to feed and cherish, and the tomes in which the lore of old Hellas was entombed, many of whose graces and beauties were visible to no eye within the academic shades as they were to his.

...clock, (actually a quarter past four). Can not some arrangement be made by which the team will be allowed to begin a little earlier, say at half-past three? At any rate, there is nothing to prevent practice beginning earlier than four o'clock. The short time before dark leaves but little opportunity for practice of any degree of value, as practice in semidarkness is worse than none at all, causing the men to rely more upon chance than accurate playing, We hope that some different plan will be adopted both in regard to the time of beginning games...
