...explanation as to the proposed action, has caused great discussion, and the hope is expressed upon every side that Dr. Porter will be induced to reconsider his resignation. It will be a serious blow to the college to lose the services of its present head, and few gentlemen can be found who will quite fill his place. The scholarly president whose work for his college has made it a power throughout the country, can feel assured that his labors for the past fourteen years among the students of Yale will not be forgotten. His work is its own reward...

...other two rushers at Southboro were McKean and Newell, though since then McKean has been playing full back. Newell has a bad trick of bunting the man with the ball instead of tackling him. McKean in the rush line, did not work hard enough and seemed to lose his head, faults which he could easily remedy. As full back he seems to prefer to catch the ball on the bounce than on the fly, a remarkable thing to do. He tackles fairly well, but too high Austin, the quarter back, fills his position very well. He is quick...

Passing out from that delightful quarter the hounds were speeded on their way by the youthful portion of the population. College Hill...

...instructors. Prof. E. J. Phelps's appointment as Minister to England has left a vacancy which will probably be filled by Prof. Simeon E. Baldwin, who will instruct the seniors in constitutional and international law. Mr. Arthur E.

Phillips and Willlam Beebe will have the freshmen...

...sophomores sprang forward eagerly and seized the unhappy freshmen by their ears, noses, necks, arms, shoulders, legs and feet. They yanked the freshmen east, west, north and south. They climbed up on their shoulders and walked on their heads. They tore off the few freshmen who had on shirts every sign of them. They rolled the freshmen on the ground and walked on them.
