...season for freshman elevens, when the novelty of the game has begun to wear off and the change of weather makes the practising a little harder. It was thought, however, that '87, anxious as they seemed to be to surpass the record of their predecessors would not allow any temporary inconveniences to stand as obstacles in the path of improvement. Their unexpected defeat seemed to thoroughly disconcert them and a corresponding depression has followed their former confidence. No better lesson could be taught the freshmen than the one they received at Andover unless they persist in taking it the wrong...
...report of President Porter's recent lecture on European colleges and schools, as copied in the HERALDCRIMSON from the News, is likely to diffuse some very erroneous ideas respecting certain very important features of the English universities and schools, and I think you will not be unwilling to allow a little space for their correction.

In the front is a large letter "H" in crimson silk. Instead of metal eyelet protectors, which in a scrimmage often tear the fingers, the holes are worked in silk. The crimson-gray over which the jacket is worn is of heavy knitted material, as are also the hose, both...
...library devoted to the society,-books which bear on the subject offered for discussion and which will be of assistance in the preparation of the arguments. These books can be selected, as before, by a special committee, and should be placed there some time before the debates. To allow the full benefit of such a plan, the questions for discussion and the leading disputants should be selected some weeks ahead so that plenty of time is given for preparation. The debates should be made instructive, (to the leading disputants at least) as well as interesting. In addition to this...
