sympathetic feeling prevalent among the students than a large university can ever hope to have. This contact of student with student is an important factor in the development of character, and in a college of five hundred men there are very few who are not pretty thoroughly known by the majority of their fellow-students before the time of graduation. Not merely does the student profit from the close associations with his fellows; the comparatively small college affords greater freedom than the university in the recitation room and gives greater opportunities for close relations between the professors and students, and these relations are often of the utmost benefit to college-men.

The Princeton papers have recently been loud in the condemnation of hazing, and have

published resolutions as adopted by the students, in which this practice is roundly denounced. It is claimed that the fact that the entering classes at Princeton have fallen off in numbers to such an extent of late is owing to the unfortunate occurrences resultant from hazing.

Yale has seen fit to make radical changes in the annual observance of Commencement Day. The salutatory and valedictory addresses will be abolished, and the number of speakers will be greatly lessened. This has been done for the purpose of making the exercises more brief and of raising the standard of the work presented on that day.

Cornell takes the stand of many other colleges, declaring in favor of ranking a student by his work done in daily recitations rather than by mid-year or final examinations.

The first reception of the season, by the students of the Divinity School, was given on the evening of November 15. It proved to be a very enjoyable occasion, as in former years. The members of the school appreciate more and more their good fortune in having the free use of such convenient and attractive appointments. Indeed, as the good Dean remarked, nothing is too good for the young men and the young ladies. They should, rightly, become acquainted with and used to the best surroundings at the very inception of their work, and acquire the advantages naturally accruing.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, Tufts lined up against Yale at New Haven for the first game played by the latter team after its retirement for secret practice. Yale played her full 'varsity eleven, and had no difficulty in continually forcing the ball over the Tufts goal for touchdowns.

Tufts started with the ball, but gave it up on two outside punts. Hickok kicked; Hickok kicked; Knowlton fumbled, and Hinkey dropped on the ball at Tufts's ten-yard line. On the next play Thorne went through the Tufts line for the first touchdown in 25 seconds. No goal.

Tufts again punted out of bounds twice; Hickok kicked; Tufts lost the ball on downs, and Butterworth went around the end for a touchdown. Hickok kicked the goal.

Tufts again allowed Yale to kick off. Craig made short gains by Murphy, and the umpire gave Tufts ten yards for McCrea's off-side play: On four downs, Yale got the ball again, and Beard was sent through the centre with it. In tackling him Lane fell beneath the pile and broke his collar-bone. He very pluckily continued to play through the half, when Healey was put in his place and Holbrook substituted as guard. Butterworth made a forty-yard run and scored the next touchdown.

Then followed touchdowns and goals in rapid succession, most of the scoring being done

by long runs by Butterworth and Thorne. Near the close of the half Tufts came near scoring. Craig went through the line between Murphy and Hickok. Captain Hinkey started for him. Butterworth tackled Hinkey by mistake while Craig was advancing unhindered. A slippery piece of ground threw Craig, and before he could get another start, Louis Hinkey had secured him. After two touchdowns by Butterworth, the half closed with a score of 43 to 0.

In the second half Tufts managed to hold the score down so that at the end the figures were 67 to 0.

The best playing for Tufts was done by Lane and Healey at centre and Craig at half back. Davis made some very pretty tackles.
