...have been secured during the past two weeks to assist the regular coaches. The choice of ends was in doubt up to the last week. Starr has been playing end in practice recently and is undoubtedly the best tackler out for the position. Macdonald is a valuable man on account of his experience, and Browne has shown great improvement recently. Bird promised well at the beginning of the season as a good man to catch forward passes, but he is handicapped in this work by weak eyesight. C. Peirce, Houston and Forster make fair substitutes...
Burr was shifted from his former position at guard to tackle early in the season on account of a loss of weight. He quickly became acquainted with his new position and now is one of the best defensive players on the team. He is most valuable to the team, however, on account of his great punting ability.

There were several good candidates for fullback at the opening of the season, but two of the most promising, Mason and Brennan, have been laid off on account of injuries. Apollonio is the best man for the position. He hits the line very hard and is an excellent defensive back. Blamer and Waterbury are the substitutes, but both are considerably weaker in defensive work...
...addition to the College Library, on the second floor, and adjoining the general reading-room, is a large room which will be known as the Treasure Room. Here will eventually be collected all the rare books and many of the manuscripts of the Library,--everything which, on account of its rarity or value, has to be kept under lock and key and ought to be used under proper supervision. The room not yet being occupied for this purpose, there will be exhibited here for the next three weeks, a collection of memories of John Harvard and his contemporaries. This collection...
