Another evil attends the practice, now become so common, of intercollegiate matches. As these contests approach, there is more or less distraction of the minds of the students from their proper pursuits, and for the time being a more or less serious neglect of study. This is an evil inevitable while the present system is maintained, and is of sufficient magnitude to justify, in the opinion of the undersigned, an absolute prohibition of intercollegiate games altogether...
Among other things occurring in connection with Saturday's game which it would be well not to repeat was the neglect of the manager of the nine to telegraph the score immediately after the match. In consequence of this disregard of duty, rumors of all kinds floated around the college about the game, some to the effect that Harvard had won, and no authentic information was had until about nine o'clock the true score was brought out from Bostom.

It seems very strange that four rooms in the dormitories in the yard should have been entered and robbed and yet that nobody, not even those on duty, should have discovered the fact until late in the morning. There seems to be room here for a charge of neglect of duty against the night-watchmen. At any rate, we hope that the recent raid will cause a sharper lookout to be kept during the early morning hours. The students will undoubtedly be more careful after this severe reminder; those who have usually left their doors unlocked or open will...
