Indeed, the state of feeling towards the faculty is so hostile that it may be likened to a volcano, which, as one writer says, "with the awful and potent causes which underlie it, is bound to erupt, even through incalculable obstacles, and carry to the outer world at least some taken of the fires that burn within." The students say that they have long enough confined their feelings to "concealed disrespect, quiet sneers, and subdued profanity toward that body whose position should call for personal respect. "Nor is this hostility confined only to the espionage and athletic questions. Much fault...
...pleasing to notice the improvement in the general appearance of college papers during the last few years. There has always been a steady advance in the reading matter and of late there has been much attention paid to their outer or visible side. The typography is far better than it was a few years ago and now a rage for attractive illuminated covers has sprung up.

...pleasant to note how the more rational and intelligent portion of the outer world are disposed to deprecate any undue excess in the present reaction against the "epidemic" of athleticism in our American colleges. The absurd strictures of such men as Dr. Crosby seem to meet with little approval save from the so-called religious press. The standpoint of the Nation and of other representative journals on the matter seems to be generally accepted as the more reasonable one. It cannot be doubted that the utterances of such men as President Eliot and President Barnard in favor of college athletics...
