...under the name of "Yale Lyrics." In "Yale Humor" by S. A. York, jr., '90. characteristic bits of Yale wit have been gathered together from the various undergraduate publications. Two stories, entitled respectively "Lloyd Lee, a Story of Yale," and "Four Years at Yale," set forth in a pleasing manner, undergraduate social life. "Sketches of Yale Life," edited by J. Addison Porter, is a compilation of pieces from the Yale Lit, which bear especially upon college life. President Porter's sermons and Baccalaureate addresses throw many side lights on the history of the college. Finally, the athletic side...

...appeared, and action was postponed by the H. A. A. until after the mid-years. Meanwhile some letters of remonstrance have been publicly written, but no result has been apparent. When sifted to the bottom much of the objection to tug-of-war seems to be in the manner of training. The candidates have been in the habit of preparing themselves by practice pulls which are in reality almost as much of a strain as the actual contests. Instead of this the men ought to undertake a regular system of exercise, just as much as runners or jumpers...
