...very unfortunate that anything should have occurred which would mar the good temper and spirit of friendly contest which has heretofore characterized the "amateur" ball games. The action of one of the nines in claiming a forfeiture on Monday last, when the game had been postponed by the manager of the university team, who possessed the right to do so, was uncalled for, and cannot be defended. The game will no doubt be played off to the satisfaction of both nines, and we trust that the result will be acquiesced in by all without any further discussion...
This mark of temper on the part of Yale is very discouraging.

We can but congratulate Professor Dunbar as he retires, and the college at large, for the credit reflected directly and indirectly by the high journalistic stand to which this paper has been brought. The energy for which Mr. Lodge is famous, governed by the cautious temper which he must inherit from the former management, promise a vigorous future for this paper...
...conclusion it may be said that a little better temper on the part of the supporters of the present regime would not be injurious, but very helpful to the best interests of the university. Those who wish to remove stumbling-blocks from Yale's path will not be daunted by the hard names that may be applied to them - not even by that most opprobrious of epithets, 'doctrinaires...
