...should have stated before now that the Historicl Society is not to blame for not giving its lectures in a larger hall so as to accommodate all who may wish to hear them. The college authorities, we understand, are not willing to give the society the free use of Sanders theatre, and since its membership is limited, it is not able to bear the extra expense of hiring the larger hall...

...playing two months in the cage, and thus far but few good players have shown themselves. They are greatly in need of a good pitcher, and at present have but two men trying for the position. Captain Loud has requested his men to sign a training paper, and we understand that a very promising candidate refused to comply with the request. This is hardly the spirit that the college expects from the freshmen, and the sooner they get over it the better will be their chances for success.

We were given to understand that the matter was private and that nothing was to be said about it until all had been decided; but such does not seem to be the construction put upon it by the other college faculties. At Princeton the students were consulted before the faculty took any action. Such should...

EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-It seems absolutely necessary to me that the faculty should fully understand the position taken by the students in regard to the matter of the new athletic regulations, and as the college papers have as yet failed to present that position as I conceive it to be, I shall endeavor to express what appears to me to be the student feeling.
