...doubt that in point of skill, in passing and kicking, we were fairly out-played. From the kick-off Harvard, carried the ball to Pennsylvania's goal and in 2 minutes Kendall secured a touchdown, completing our score, for Austin failed to kick the goal though the ball was almost directly in front of the bar. The redeeming feature of the next few minutes was the fine tackling of Adams which gained him the chief commendation to be bestowed on the team. Unfortunately for Harvard, he was interrupted in his good work by an injury, and was forced to leave...
...patiently borne. But their presence is most of all obnoxious when there is a celebration of any kind in progress, on which occasions whether by day or by night, they intrude upon us in such crowds and in such varieties that the legitimate frequenters of the yard feel almost at their mercy. This is evidently not as it should be.

While we do not believe in any hard feeling existing between classes of the same college, we think this project would afford abundant opportunity for fostering that old time class feeling which formerly formed one of the pleasantest remembrances of college life, and which has lately disappeared almost entirely, due perhaps in a large measure to the unwieldy size of the classes...
...sophomores and one freshman. The president of the college acts as president of the senate and has the power to veto all its decisions. The question of the college remaining a member of the Inter-collegiate League was laid before the senate on Friday last. The senate decided almost unanimously to allow the college team to enter the intercollegiate contest. President Seelve is satisfied with the way things have gone thus far, and expects to have no further trouble in regard to discipline. The students are well pleased with this innovation...
