CUTTING ON MONDAY.

The Student Council's notice on another page can mean only one thing. There is no excuse and little necessity for men staying away from Cambridge over Monday after the Yale game. The game will be over by four o'clock Saturday afternoon and it is reasonable to assume that men can get back in time to attend their lectures and recitations on Monday. No mention is made of cutting on Saturday, wisely enough. It might be mentioned here, however, that while cuts on Saturday morning by men going to New Haven are not officially excused, they are generally charged up to profit and loss, and no grievous attention is paid them.

One of the prime objections to intercollegiate athletics which is periodically brought rather forcibly to our attention is the demoralizing effect of a big game, particularly when played away from home, on the following few days with reference to academic pursuits. This is a justifiable complaint and one which the Council proposes to meet if possible with a better state of affairs this year in regard to attendance at least. The Council is working in the right direction and its notices should command attention.
