...much than of too little. The supporters of the class nines too often let their feelings of partisanship get the better of them. They encourage or discourage the different players with extreme personalities which would be far more in place in the scrub championship, and through their eagerness, doubtless, to lose no point in the play, often crowd so closely upon the field as to interfere seriously with the game. Nothing could be farther from our wish than to see the enthusiasm checked which is the life of the class games, but this over-zealousness which threatens...
...honorable, why expose himself to the unpleasant suggestion that he is not? The hint that his estimate of himself has been too high is of course absurd, but it is extremely disagreeable, and no man in his senses would force himself to listen to it.

The evils above mentioned have not been newly recognized, and already much has been done by earnest men to remedy them. But such reform takes time. Many classes must still suffer from the faults of their early training. There is promise for the future, though, in the steady decrease in the ages of successive freshman classes. Since 1889 this decrease has been only once interrupted, when in both 1892 and 1893 the average age was eighteen years and eleven months. This year again it has gone...
...hard to foresee. The Faculty have the power, as they evidently have the will, to prevent any student in the College, the Lawrence Scientific School, or the Graduate School, from taking part in an intercollegiate football contest. For the present they waive this power, doubtless hoping that the Athletic Committee will save them from the necessity of exercising it; but intercollegiate football contests, whether voluntarily or involuntarily abandoned, can hardly be anticipated for next fall...
