...third of a very interesting series of papers on Students' Athletic Management appeared in last Friday's New York Evening Post. This paper is devoted almost exclusively to the financial aspects of athletics here, and treats the matter so fully and concisely that a few extracts will be of interest to the college at large. After explaining the personnel and duties of the Committee on the Regulation of Athletic Sports. commonly known as the Athletic committee, the writer goes on to explain the duties of the graduate treasurer, and the causes which led to the establishment of that office. After...
...popular favor, but there has been a marked improvement in the general playing. The scores made in the intercollegiate league show this development in the playing of all the teams, and a tendency on the part of all to play an aggressive game. Last year the winning elevens, in almost every case, shut out their opponents, and Yale did not have a point scored against her during the entire season; but this year the stronger teams have not been able to prevent the weaker ones from scoring, and the following schedule of points scored shows that all the teams scored...

The rest of the week will be devoted to well known operas in which Miss Juch will take leading parts in the same manner that has won such deserved applause during the past week...
...temporary refusal of the faculty to allow the Glee club to make a Christmas trip was announced as final yesterday, and so a pleasant custom which was thought likely to become a fixture has been broken almost at the start. The only reason advanced for the refusal was that such a trip as that proposed is contrary to the whole policy of Harvard-that it is not her desire to advertise herself through any one of her organizations. The excuse given is hardly sound, for if the argument were consistently carried out intercollegiate athletics would be entirely abolished...
