...fair discussion of the athletic regulations and the question raised by their adoption can be had. Both sides of the discussion have already been presented more or less completely. Student opinion is already beginning to form itself on the justice and expediency of the resolutions. Many have questioned the right of the faculty to interfere in the matter at all. But on this point there ought to be no doubt. The faculty have a right to act upon anything which pertains to the college or the government of the students under their charge.

Less than half a mile farther up a hilly road is Hanover; a store or two, a few conventional wooden dwelling houses and a substantial brick in comprise the village. Then come the college...
...presumed to challenge them so boastfully. It was funny-funny enough to convulse more sober people even than the college crews are composed of. But now that the laugh is over, is it not about time for Harvard, Yale and Columbia to beat Pennsylvania and so establish their right to laugh? It might turn out to be the old story of the jovial Pat who was glad he had his laugh before he got over the fence to try the funny experiment of running the bull's nose into the ground. [Brunonian...
