...important these objections are we never comprehended until we read the article in question. The article which we consider such an important contribution to the literature of the subject has the seemingly innocent title "jottings from the journal of an A. B." But instead of this article being a sort of second edition of the lucubration's of Mr. Robert Grant's "Frivolous Girl," it is in reality a plaintive wail sent forth into the world by an almost despairing alumna-we suppose we must call her-of the Poughkeepsie institution of learning...
...class was arranged in their social order, or placed, to use the technical term, within six or nine months after entering college. The names of the students were written in order of precedence in a large German text, and placed in a conspicuous part of the college buttery (a sort of supplement to the commons) with the names of the other three classes.

It is well known in the college world that the morals and manners of the athletic men are much better than those of the rest of the men. Healthful...
...Every sort of gaming company" is a strong statement to make about six or seven athletic coaches. Because college teams play with a few amateur or even professional teams of known reputation, they can scarcely be said to associate haphazard with whatever "gaming association" comes along. The evils that are said to arise from intercourse with professionals have never been clearly defined, and a clear definition of them is necessary before any judgment ought to be passed upon college athletics. There is a decided objection to professionalism creeping into athletics, but hitherto its advances have been so slight and have...
