...colleges last year and the differing rules which each has adopted, it is evident that the matter of arranging a game is one which requires considerable delicacy in the handling. Any official information on the subject is hardly to be expected until matters have advanced more than they seem to have done thus far. Should Yale fail to come forward with a challenge for a football game, there will be no intercollegiate contests of any kind this year between Harvard and Yale. This restriction will extend to the freshman games...
...meeting of Harvard and Yale against Oxford and Cambridge was at first sight very pleasing. It would be so still were it not that consideration of the challenge just received leads to the feeling that Harvard can hardly accept it without a breach of collegiate courtesy. The English colleges seem to have made no attempt to obviate the difficulties in the way of accepting the intercollegiate challenge sent them, but to have refused this without due reluctance, and to have made an entirely arbitrary selection of Harvard and Yale.

Turning to a college of quite a different position and history, Washington and Lee, in Virginia, I find that, out of $600,000, $234,000 are invested in securities of the state of Virginia; that town and county bonds are represented by a few thousand dollars; and that railroads...
...precautions taken by the Class Day Committee concerning the sale of tickets to the exercises on Class Day, are reasonable and just. It may seem to some men that there is a needless amount of red tape in the disposal of tickets. Yet every bit of this seemingly needless form is absolutely necessary if the sale of these tickets is to be conducted with fairness, and Class Day is to be made a success. In spite of the precautions which former committees have taken in keeping track of the tickets that are given out, a great deal of trouble...
...brought to the notice of the outside public. Few who are not connected with the college have any opportunity, as matters now stand, of rightly appreciating the different influences which are at work upon the undergraduate mind, or of estimating their effects. The interests of the student not unnaturally seem to be confined to the various forms of athletic or social activity, with now the possible exception of debating, which is often supposed to be stimulated only by the prospect of contests with Yale...
