...different sports. One of the peculiar results is that a person can in one year be a member of the football, the baseball and the track teams, whereas he cannot compete in football, swimming and track in the same College year. If there is any benefit obtained I should like very much to have it pointed out. Almost without exception the minor sports require only an hour a day of practice. Let me assure those who framed this rule, that this one hour subtracted from the study hours of the athlete in question can make no apparent difference...

There is no use in quitting because the game doesn't suit us and we are getting beaten.

...connection with the recent agitation for the improvement of the Yard dormitories, we should like to suggest a change in the rules for applying for rooms in these buildings. At present the rooms in the three Senior dormitories are allotted in the middle of February, and applications for the other College buildings are due in April. By this time practically all the rooms in outside buildings have been allotted, and if the applications for Yard rooms are unsuccessful, there is but little chance of getting any but inferior lodgings. Every year many applications for the Senior dormitories fail...
