...taking down of the seats on Holmes Field, mentioned by the Crimson, because of the non-payment of the builder, is truly deplorable. We can not believe that the threat is serious, or that, if so, the college would allow it to be put into execution. Certainly enough generous supporters of the foot-ball team will be found to liquidate this debt for them. Furthermore, we trust it will not be found impossible, on account of the cost, to adopt the Crimson's plan for the erection of a ladies' grand stand with some suitable covering or awning.

...good Review is even more generous yet: "The older colleges have a larger proportion of loafers. But this is not the fault of the colleges. Western colleges have less of this disturbing element now, but as they grow they will meet with the same difficulties. Indeed, some of our Western schools are even now passing the Eastern colleges in these unsatisfactory elements, and Ann Arbor, Northwestern and Oberlin may well congratulate themselves if, when they are as old as Harvard and Williams and Amherst, they turn out as fine gentlemen, as keen scholars and as earnest Christians.
