...result - and this abolition is the legitimate outcome of Mr. Aiken's arguments. The book, however, is well worth reading by all college men. The author will certainly win respect for his sincerity and earnestness, and one's individual profit from reading the book, even when opposed to the general conclusions of the writer, cannot but be great...

...seems to be the general belief among the upper classes that if at any time a body of freshmen - small or large - gather together they cannot behave like gentlemen. On the night in question these same forty freshmen went to the theatre for their own amusement, and with the intention of creating no disturbance. As they went with the intention of behaving like gentlemen, they cannot understand how they were conscious of any "wickedness" or "furtive glances" at a party of nine sophomores, or a total of thirteen college men, the only college men who were in the theatre beside...

...very largely attended. The weather was all that could be desired, the management perfect, and the events well filled and as a rule closely contested. Much credit is due to President Lowell and his assistants for the promptness with which the several events were called, and for the general excellence of the arrangements. Although no records were broken some good time was made. Mr. Baker sustained the reputation which he made for himself in his class meeting and could undoubtedly have made better time in all of the events for which he entered had he been pressed...
