...upon as a connecting link between athletics, past and present, and with it are associated memories dearer than any other to the undergraduate heart. Any attempt to destroy or encroach upon this custom or to destroy its sacredness would be very likely to be treated in a very conservative manner. Thus it was when Columbia desired to enter the charmed circle, and thus the University of Pennsylvania finds it today. A challenge from the former institution has never been replied to by Yale, otherwise than by silence. Harvard, however, has gratified the earnest desire of Columbia for a race...
...first arrangement was final, as no changes were made in subsequent years, although it often happened that the relative rank of the parents would vary. The dissatisfaction sure to be caused by such an arrangement and the extreme difficulty of making out the lists in an impartial manner can readily be imagined. The upper and lower members of the class were not so difficult to arrange, but the claims of the members who occupied a middle position, and they were in the majority, were uncertain and hard to settle satisfactorily...

...glad-of the opportunity to correct an unfounded censure. We have not been refused the use of Sanders Theatre through a "penurious policy"; we have not been refused the use of Sanders Theatre at all; we have twice been tendered the use of Sanders Theatre in the most considerate manner. After due consultation we have thought it best to continue in Sever. If any dissatisfied person will guarantee us an audience sufficient to fill the lower part of the theatre, and will provide maps large enough to be seen from any part of the house, we may reconsider.
