...first-class hotel. Such a thing as a marked violation of good breeding is almost unknown at these tables. For six years from four hundred to six hundred students have eaten together in this the largest college dining hall in the world, and no disturbance whatever has ever occurred. Indeed, such a thing would be impossible among young men so well bred. The nearest approach to a demonstration that is ever made is when a thoughtless onlooker in the visitors' gallery neglects to take off his hat. The fare is a little monotonous, but it is rich, well cooked...
...foot-ball troubles are concerned we can only say that not only Harvard but Princeton disapproved of Yale's method of play. Still, neither Harvard nor Princeton ever accused Yale of being a mere training-school for "muckers." We only claim that Yale plays a game of foot-ball which we consider adapted only to "muckers" (if the Spirit wants to use this word), and in so far only as Yale supports this style is she "muckerish."

He will not only be rendered stronger and healthier by his exercise, but he will be trained instinctively in qualities of promptitude of decision, impartiality of judgment, and readiness of action that will not only help him as a student, but be invaluable to him in after life...
...college, and the improvement steadily going on in the eleven, we ought not to be again satisfied until the championship is secured. Prophecies may seem out of place at present, yet from what we may reasonably expect for next season it seems that our prospects are brighter than ever. Abundance of material, good management, and hearty support seem already promised, while lack of honest work and desire for success has never been the fault of Harvard teams. And should our game with Yale next fall determine the championship as it did this fall we can have the satisfaction of knowing...
