...Four different localities were consecrated to the Panhellenic games,' at which the athletes of all the Hellenic tribes met for trials of strength at intervals varying from six months to four years. The disgrace of being defeated in the presence of an assembled nation was as bitter as the honor of being crowned was great. Besides the drill-grounds and the public gymnasia-of which every town had one or two, and where the complete apparatus for all public sports was often combined with free baths and lecture halls-the larger cities had associations for the promotion of special favorite...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- "H. H. D.," who wrote about college honor and proctors in your columns, Wednesday morning, must remember that in the mid-years and annuals no individual instructor can depart from a rule laid down for all.

He had no friends-all cut him-and at last he could stand it no longer, so cleared...
...seems to me that an institution such as the one proposed before the Conference Committee-namely, a club which should stand pledged for the honor of its members-would be entirely foreign to the spirit of the present day. It was a necessary evil among the Normans of England and France eight centuries ago; but, to-day, we must act upon and through individuals. It is not surprising that many objections were found, but the most vital one was overlooked. Men who know themselves to be honorable would feel that they were degrading themselves if they should call to their...
