...multiply examples of this "babble of Dead Sea apes." The old hurrah is obsolete, and, so far, as our colleges are concerned, what sounds like the incoherent ravings of idiocy has taken its place. This is a very sad state of things. Our future as a nation will be gloomy indeed unless we abandon the "rahs," the "rockets," and the idiotic sentences which have taken the place of the old mouth-filling and earappalling hurrah. We shall deserve no respect at the throats of hurrahing nations, and we shall even be despised by the Frenchman, who although he tries...
...would call the attention of those in the college who are graduates of the Boston Latin School to the announcement of the annual dinner of the Latin School Association which is to take place next week. The dinner has become one of Boston's old and time-honored institutions, and the gathering is always a most enjoyable one. It seems particularly appropriate that the dinner should be held at Parker's, which stands on the site occupied by the first building of the school in 1635. In view of the fact that there are over eighty men in college...
...difficulty consists in obtaining a referee who will have the courage and the inclination to exert all the powers of his office to bring about fair and manly play. Abolish all rules such as rules 28 and 38, which prohibit intentional striking with fists, throttling, tripping, etc. In their place have a rule giving the referee carte blanche to send any player from the field whose conduct in his opinion, is unbecoming a gentleman...
...duties and powers of his office were distinctly understood and mutually agreed upon, we think a referee could be found who could and would secure a gentlemanly game. With such a referee it would be unwise, in our opinion, not to allow a substitute to take the place of a dismissed player. It would be better to make it an individual matter than to have the team suffer for the rowdyism of one player. For under a new code of this sort, no gentleman could be betrayed into conduct unworthy his name. We would not, however, favor an increased severity...
...should prohibit off-side play, yet the latter has become an important and interesting point in the science of foot-ball, so much so, indeed, that lovers of the sport would not like to see it rendered impossible by doing away with the warning. Besides, the rules should not place off-side play on a par with such cowardly and unmanly offenses as tripping, throttling, etc., by prescribing the same punishment for both. Under the present code the penalties in some instances are not commensurate with the offenses. Our idea is to completely overhaul and readjust the penal code...
