...professors and instructors, there will remain some ill-mannered persons who greet every unusual incident or remark with stamping and shuffling. When a lecturer tries to enliven the dry subject matter of a course by the introduction of interesting anecdotes or personal experiences, he is greeted with an uproar from those whose over-developed sense of humor blinds their sense of decency. The lecturer, very naturally fails to appreciate these outbursts, and as a result may remove from his remarks anything calculated to produce them. This makes the daily routine much dryer and the majority are as usual made...
...member of the Harvard Dining Association, I feel that the disgraceful outbreak of rowdyism at dinner last night, should not pass unnoticed. Because women visiting the hall are conspicous in their behavior is no reason why we should not be gentlemen. Though rapping on dishes and general uproar while visitors are in the gallery has been, I think unwisely, tolerated in the past, there can be no excuse for the throwing of food and other articles.

People believed that his principles, if carried out, would undo the Revolution. He was in their...
...editorial on organized cheering, quoted from the Yale News in yesterday's CRIMSON, closes with a significant sentence. Cheering, it says, "has now reached a stage where, in the interest of clean sport, definite steps, should be taken to suppress it." If, as the editorial elsewhere states, the continuous uproar of the present day game" is regarded by both Harvard and Yale as "an unpleasant feature of the modern college game,"--and the recent communications printed in the CRIMSON would seem to bear out his statement so far as Harvard is concerned,--then these steps may well be taken...
