...student of philosophy, and, with a truly Spencerean somersault of logic, he reduces me ad absurdum. The burden of his proof is that "J. N. M." contradicts himself. Think of this! I charge the Brethren with halfness, with not having bravery enough to take a decided stand, either Orthodox or Liberal; with leaving its constitution in such a way that no Unitarian or Universalist can, with self respect, join the society - for such could be members not by virtue of a clean-cut statement of the constitution, but by its "fair" interpretation, which means by twisting it. This I charge...
...title which she has held for the past three years. To us it seems that this decision is wrong. The facts are as follows: Princeton was champion last year, and has won two games and tied one this year. (This assumes that she will get a game from Columbia either by play or forfeit.) Yale has precisely the same score. Now, if the championship is something that is played for each year, and if the title to it ceases at the beginning of a new season, there are no champions now. If the championship is a thing which belongs...
...respect. This was done in the case of the ball nine in 1878, and of the races last year. Tablets recording the first three class races were placed in the Gymnasium, and it was hoped that the custom, once started, would not be allowed to fall into disuse. But, either owing to oversight or negligence, no record of the last October races has yet appeared in the Gymnasium, and it is time for the Executive Committee of the Boat Club to see that this omission is rectified. It is also proper, in this connection, to remind the Athletic Association that...
...regular work has been, and deserves to be, the cause of much complaint on the part of the students. When a man has elaborate theses to write, as in Political Economy 3 and History 5, of a hundred pages or so in length, one of two things must happen: either he must neglect his regular work and write them during term time, or he must devote his Christmas recess to the task. Either of these courses seems equally bad, and we cannot believe that the amount of time necessarily employed in looking up a small point in history would...
...both colleges realize more clearly the necessity of having a solid financial basis for the good management of their annual boat race. The "transportation interest" supplies this basis at New London, the "hotel interest" supplies it at Saratoga; and there are absolutely no other places in America where either interest is strong enough to find any pecuniary advantage in guaranteeing proper management for such an exceedingly costly affair as the annual Harvard-Yale race in its present form. The keeping of a clear course on the Thames, at the first trial in 1878, was an unprecedented achievement, implying an amount...
