...suspension of an undergraduate for supposed violation of the rules of the college is not so rare an occurrence as to excite extended discussion beyond the sphere of the victim's intimate friends; but there may be circumstances which make such an event of more general interest. Such circumstances seem to exist in the case which has just occurred, and justice to a popular and worthy man, as well as to truth, demands that the facts should be known. Mr. Sartelle, being in my room, casually read my theme, and some time afterwards wrote his, on the same subject...
These being the facts in the case, what inferences are we to draw from them? It would seem to be a fair inference that the college authorities attach very little value to the honor of a student who is accused of a misdemeanor, and that they are content to reason from effects to causes and motives without regard to the man's word. No man in college was more trusted and respected than Mr. S., and those who know him know that he would not be guilty of a dishonest act such as the faculty have practically convicted...

Though we have already spoken of some of the events, it does not seem out of place to call the attention of the college to some of the points in which it will require great energy to keep the meetings up to the standard of the last few years...
...prospects of the freshman crew seem to be excellent. Steady work and first-class material are likely to secure the crew a creditable place on the river in the spring. The example set by '83's freshman crew is one that should encourage all succeeding crews with good hopes for victory. How strong an opponent the freshmen will find in Columbia's freshman crew it is of course impossible to conjecture. The New York university will certainly make a strong effort to maintain the lead gained last year. The foot-ball record that '86 has already made should encourage...
...good deal has been said lately about the Brown University base-ball grounds. The grounds certainly deserve all the criticism which has been made on them, as any one who has ever played on them will testify. The fault with the out-field, however, does not seem to us to be that it is easy to make home runs; for since the erection of the high board fence, with its trellis-like attachment, it is almost impossible to make a home run on the hardest hit ball. It has been proposed that the wall of the church and the side...
