...Magdalen College Athletic Sports took place, Nov. 9 and 10 the Freshmen's (University) on the 13th and 14th. As will be seen, the Freshmen made the better record, though the comparison is hardly a fair...
...shall influence our conduct. It is the conservative element in a state that keeps it from anarchy. But these commonplace truths are ignored by the independent man. In the face of established and recognized principles he blurts out his opinions. He thinks it is great and original to pronounce, though unsolicited, his views on college life, and the motives which he thinks should guide it.

Another, entitled "As Regards Eating," is tolerably amusing, though it gives us rather a startling idea of the company Yale men expect to meet at dinner-parties. The Editors of the Courant are disturbed in their minds because what they "considered a harmless joke - to the effect that there were twenty insane persons in the Senior Class - has been copied, in sober earnest, into nearly every college paper, large or small, in the country." The characteristic American amusement of telling untruths which are not meant to be believed...
