"How would a league of Princeton, Harvard, Columbia and Pennsylvania sound?" - Pennsylvanian.

Well, it is rather hard to commit one's self on such a proposition as the foregoing. How would the league sound? It might sound all right one way and then again it might not; for instance to a student from that cradle of athletics - the University of Pennsylvania - it might sound all right. There is melody in the name Pennsylvania; then, too, the derivation of the word is classic to a greater or less degree, and yet after all it seems as if a short one-syllabled name that we can think of supplies the place of Pennsylvania very well. Of course, if the Keystone State, including Philadelphia, should really want us at this late date to step down and out, of course, just for friendship's sake, we might be persuaded to leave the lately formed quadrangular league and make way for the league which sounds better.

The chief trouble with the University of Pennsylvania seems to be an aggravated case of enlarged head.

By the way, what has become of that much agitated national foot-ball team which was to be sent abroad in the interest of American college sports by that fast developing institution? On the whole, perhaps, the quadrangular league sounds well enough as it is. - Yale Courant.
