College editors are not only selected to write editorials. One of the main qualifications of a good editor is good judgment. He must be able to tell which article is worthy of being printed in his paper and which one is not. When a college paper prints an article, it is taken for granted that the editors thought the article a perfectly proper and legitimate article for their columns; otherwise they should not have accepted it. No paper should give matter room if the editors think it improper. The Advocate's position is that a contributed article is not necessarily...
...anything as a student will not be hindered by a reasonable devotion to athletic sports, but, on the contrary, will be helped. He will not only be rendered stronger and healthier by his exercise, but he will be trained instinctively in qualities of promptitude of decision, impartiality of judgment, and readiness of action that will not only help him as a student, but be invaluable to him in after life.

...Clipper's judgment on the recent freshman game is of interest: "The game was announced for 2 o'clock, but did not commence until 2.40. There was no occasion for this unreasonable delay, and surely it should not have been allowed when darkness sets in at so early an hour. The Harvard men were heavier and stronger than their opponents, but showed a lamentable weakness of head or management, failing to play well together or support one another effectively. Individually they played very well, but there was much inexperience and ignorance of the rules of the game apparent. The ball...
...like rowing, where ungentlemanly conduct cannot win as it can in foot-ball, we should choose the more effiicent adversary. However much Yale may strive to make herself disagreeable by her infantile cries of eel grass, such claims, which, even if allowed, only show a want of management and judgment on her part, can only result in making her, as it did last June, the laughing stock of the college and sporting world...
