...that the officers of the clubs have taken this manly position, the least the members can do is to give them their hearty support. The floats will probably be down before the end of this week, and the sixes ought to begin at once.

In justification of their "innovation" they urge "the dulness of the times and the demand for news," which latter commodity they apparently propose to manufacture, inasmuch as the Record and Courant are supposed to publish all that happens at Yale...
