...with the others in its strivings after idiocy in compounding its private cheer. All of their cheers begin with the "rah, rah, rah," and are distinguished from one another by different additions. The students of Columbia repeat each letter of the name of their college, and seem to think they have done well in convincing those who hear their revolting cheet that they can spell at least one word correctly. The Williams students finish their cheer with the words "Willyums, yams, yums," and the students...
...which to do better,-that any such course of study is a failure, a waste of precious time, and must be either improved or given up. Now we assert that what has been said is exactly the state of the present instruction in forensics; and whatever the faculty may think on the subject, we are confident that all thinking men in the senior class-who have had a year's experience in the matter-will agree with us.

For under a new code of this sort, no gentleman could be betrayed into conduct unworthy his name. We would not, however, favor an increased severity...
...time as is now left. Mr. Walter Oakes, the manager of the Harvard eleven, says in his letter declining the challenge, that "it is impossible to play another game, although we would like very much to play off the tie. Our semi-annuals are at hand and the men think that they cannot spare the time but must now make up for that lost during the foot-ball season. Besides, even if they should begin to practice and train so late in the season, a cold snap would come, and there would be so much snow that it would...
