...their feet and hands. These actions were undignified and entirely unworthy of Harvard men. We are sure that those who took part in them do not realize that as the officers of the Hall cannot act as policemen, good order in the Hall depends not a little upon the self-control of every member. The tendency towards disorder is one which will grow inevitably if a distinct effort is not made to avoid all such unnecessary demonstrations as those we have mentioned. We ask those who have taken part in these demonstrations to think the matter over...
...most dangerous and brutalizing of all sports. It is true that men are occasionally injured seriously on the football field; but for that reason are we to cultivate effeminate dispositions and weak bodies?

The fact that no regular yard committee is now in existence afforded last night an opportunity to the students as a body to exercise some self-control in the celebration. We do not care at this hour to comment on the method of that restraint. It is sufficient, however, to say that the result was one which it will always be the policy of the CRIMSON to support...
