...Certainly Yale will never again be subjected to the division which took place with the formation of the Scientific School as a separate school, and certainly Yale has not been extremely conscious that their separation has been an aggravating divisive factor. Initial pride in both the College and Sheff, still centers around the word "Yale," and the old succession of affections--university, class, society--still holds.

Tradition will remain inviolate as long as the spirit of an institution flourishes. And certainly the News platform...
...over into the new Senior year, which now has 150 men instead of the 250 of 30 years ago, is no less open to study. If the college is to go on adding into itself in numbers through the choices of Freshman year than recently have tended away from Sheff (and we hope that this is not to be the case), there will sooner or later have to be a reconsideration of the social system to catch up with the change...
