...Princeton's evidence incriminating Harvard's players it seems rather to have been a second thought than otherwise. If Princeton has valid protests to raise against Harvard's team we fail utterly to see why these were not made at the New York convention when our challenged players appeared to answer any charges made against them, It must be remembered that the threat, or perhaps we ought to say the warning, of Princeton's manifesto has not as yet been pointed with any very telling evidence...
...protest underhanded. It is for the best interests of all colleges concerned that the players of each should be challenged in order that college athletics may be purified as far as possible. As for the unfairness of our protesting four of Princeton's men on purely professional grounds we fail to see the strength of Princeton's objection since a like privilege belongs to her. It looks very much as if the shoe pinched too much for Princeton's comfort...
...Richard H. Dana, of New York, is to address the students on the subject of Reforms in Political Methods, and how to bring them about. The subject will of course be approached from a non-partisan point of view, and Mr. Dana's great familiarity with political affairs cannot fail to make the meeting both interesting and instructive. It may be well to add, for the sake of those who are spending their first year at Cambridge, that the college conference meetings are managed entirely by the students, and that the topics and speakers are chosen by and for them...
...general college sentiment in the matter, and certainly at first thought the restriction does seem harsh. A little careful reflection, however, puts the subject in a new light. If the student will but fairly ask himself the question, "what after all is the purpose of college life?" he cannot fail to see the justice of the faculty's regulation. College life is free and easy, and athletics particularly so engaging that it is very easy for us to forget the higher duties we are here to perform. But intellectual culture is, or ought to be after the primary...
...sincere, and there seemed, therefore, nothing to do but to submit to the inevitable. Now that another college year has opened, however, it is fitting that the question should again be agitated. The advantages of the desired improvement are too obvious to need even enumeration. its effects could not fail to be beneficial to all concerned, and of course the only possible drawback to the project would be the lack of money for its success. And yet it does seem almost a disgrace that such an obstacle should be so powerful. There certainly is no improvement needed half so much...
