...dinner to the victorious Freshman football team will be held this evening at the Varsity club at 6.30 o'clock. The money has been subscribed by graduates and the whole affair will be informal. Ordinary every-day dress will be worn. The speakers will be A. A. Gleason '86, W. F. Garcelon L. '95, L. Withington, Jr., '11, captain-elect of the University football team, G. F.

It seems to me that this is a great mistake and a great pity; for the committee have done everything to make it attractive and want...
