In Poughkeepsie on December 10 a debate among 135 Vassar freshmen centered on copying notes and using papers from previous years in thesis preparation. President Gracken noted issues with jokers in the crowd, and an expert joker recognizer was added to the corps to curb the practice. The discussion touched on card playing antics by Mr Hilbert and the absence of complete analysis of hands, with protests from referees suggesting concerns over setting a bad precedent. The event, while highlighting individual player errors, saw the Cavaliers perform better defensively in last night’s game against the Culberts.
