FOOT-BALL is the favorite sport in fall, and we hope that Holmes Field will be kept in constant use, for our foot-ball team owe it to themselves and to the College to place themselves on a level with the crew and the nine. It is true that the team will suffer severely by the loss of so many good players from '77; but there seems to be no reason why, with steady practice, a team could not be formed strong enough to bring back the laurels which were lost at New Haven last year...
...RUMOR has reached us that there is much indignation among the graduating class at the unwarrantable action of President Eliot in calling in the service of the police on Commencement night; that it was utterly unnecessary, and was a direct insult by degrading the class to the level of so many criminals. We should have been pleased to see more respect paid to the graduating class, and less open obsequiousness to the Presidential party at Commencement Dinner.

It is untrue, then, to say that a man who has derived these advantages from a college course is inferior...
CORNELL could have expected no other reception for the challenge she sent us than the one she received. As long as we entertain any respect for ourselves, as long as we desire to see college boat-racing raised above the level of street-fights, we must turn a deaf ear to such braggadocio messages as this one from Cornell. The spirit displayed by this invitation to row "in case we win the race with Yale" is the spirit of the prize-ring. There is a deep-seated feeling in the breasts of every one to see our crew row with...
