Owing to a peculiar provision of the gift of a new building to Yale, the fence will have to be removed to make way for it. The Yale alumni and undergraduates are protesting against any such action, and last week the matter was brought before the New York alumni in a formal way, and as a result a petition to the corporation has been drawn up, protesting the proposed location of the building. Copies of this will be sent to every alumni association in the country, and the protest will be presented to the corporation at the earliest possible opportunity...
...sensational and incorrect, we certainly do not mean that we are satisfied with the result of the game. We do not like to dispute the result of a game, and we don't do it often; but in this case we feel we must, in duty to the college, protest in Harvard's name against the referees decisions on Thanksgiving Day. If the team itself does not protest at the convention, we shall be very sorry, and we shall consider it a great mistake. The referee's decisions that will naturally be protested are: 1st, the decision allowing Corbin...
...years past; the second was a vast piece of carelessness, if nothing worse, and was the subject of comment everywhere on the field where it occurred.

We do not wish to accuse the Yale team of any unfairness in profiting by these...
...failure in intercollegiate athletics is largely due to a morbid and unhealthy cynicism prevailing here-a cynicism that represses individuality. self-assertion, and even enthusiasm. No one admires more than myself the quality of "self-conceitedness"- if I may use the term-that is fostered here. But I protest against the extreme to which the culture of the conventional and the worship of the proper is carried in this University. It is true the Harvard man of to-day has admirable tact, a useful amount of self-possession, and a praiseworthy respect for appearance. But these are negative virtues...
...circuitous course around Tufts College. The first one of the pack, which consisted of 40 men, was W. Wells, '90, and he arrived at 5.20, followed in half a second by H. Page, '88. Great dissatisfaction was expressed by the hounds at the poor trail laid. If a protest, signed by three-fourths of the hounds is presented to the H. A. A. within two days, the Association may refuse prizes to the hares. In this case, the prizes are given to the first two hounds...
