...that time was, a member of the University. As there was some doubt expressed at the time in regard to the records, we did not see fit to allow them as the best college records, and these recent developments have shown that our action was right. A rule preventing professionals from competing in college athletic sports has never been deemed necessary, but the action of the college base ball league last year in regard to Richmond, the Brown pitcher, showed pretty conclusively the feeling of the college world on that subject. Among the matches run by this Fitzgibbons, the Spirit...
...because they actually get much enjoyment from its observance - for we believe that most of them have some gentlemanly instincts - but for that most absurd of all reasons, just because it is the custom. Now precedent is all well enough, as long as the first conditions upon which the rule was founded have not altered. But in this case the conditions have altered.

...wish to suggest to certain instructors that recitations are voluntary. Those gentlemen seem to ignore this fact when they mark students who are constant in attendance at recitations with greater leniency than those who are frequently absent. If the Faculty has seen fit to make a rule which gives us voluntary recitations, professors have no right to take an independent position and to state that men will find it advantageous not to cut. Provided a man write an accurate examination-paper, it is decidedly unfair to take absences into consideration in making up the marks of any elective. In addition...
