...have a band that can undoubtedly vie with that of any other college; why, then, should we not adopt this plan also? It certainly would be a very enjoyable feature, and would add much to the pleasure of the meetings. We hear from our brass band only too seldom. It is true that we may be rather late in offering this suggestion; yet we hope that if the matter is favorably received by the members of the band, sufficient time is left for practice before the winter meetings. If not, let us hope that next year the matter...
...once more, we can look forward to an exciting series of inter-collegiate contests during the coming season. Owing to the fact that the colleges now in the association are so far apart, each team plays each other team but one championship game each year, and the college teams seldom meet in practice games. Consequently the addition of one or two more colleges to the four already in the association will be greeted with joy by lovers of the game and those interested in its progress among the colleges...
...have every reason to claim for ourselves a place in the front rank of American universities, and yet this claim is seldom made. The press teems with the well-grounded self-congratulations of Harvard and Yale.

...besides this our "friend of humanity" proposes to put all corporations under government control and cites many good authorities to support him in this and the taxation question. The "Problem" being solved he closes with the defiant remark that "if this be socialism, I am a socialist. . . ." Such books seldom do good, yet they often have their use. Let us hope this one may affect any mind that takes it up for good. But there is always a certain feeling of disapprobation accompanying anything of this sort when at the close one finds that the author does not wish...
...Thus, it may be assumed that the Princeton and Yale teams were more easily matched than has been the case for years perhaps. It is true that the weather was far from favorable but whatever was lacking in advantages was made up for by the determination of the players. Seldom have teams been brought together who were so thoroughly determined either to win, or to make a victory cost more than a defeat. Is is true that the feeling on both sides was unfortunately higher than it should have been. But such must always be the case when complications arise...
