...class nine last year. He is a good back stop, and probably will be selected to fill Dann's position. McClung, '92, half back on the eleven this fall, caught on the Phillips Exeter Academy nine for four years. He is a heavy batter and can play in almost any position. If he does not catch it is probable that he will be given one of the out fields. Unless Stagg can be induced to alter his decision, Dalzell, '91, will pitch. He was substitute pitcher last year and can be relied upon to do good work, although...
...objections raised then are now invalid. Since that time a well-organized and responsible electric light company has established itself in Cambridge, and electric lights have almost entirely superseded gas in the various stores around the college. The cost of putting electric lights in the library would be comparatively slight-in fact, insignificant in comparison to what it would have cost three years ago.

Princeton will have another representative in Janeway, who has entered for putting the 24-pound shot. Dohm and Robinson will also compete in the quarter-mile run, among almost fifty others. There are forty-four entries for the standing broad jump, thirty-one for the mile walk, twenty-five for the 220-yard hurdle race, and an exceedingly large number for the bicycle races. Twelve tug-of-ar teams have entered, including one from Yale. The four men have...
...congratulate the Conference Francaise on the vigor and life it is showing in getting ready for the stage a short comedy by Jules Moineau. In doing this it is following the excellent and successful precedent of last year, when this formerly almost dormant society blossomed forth into one of the most active of literary societies at Harvard. The successful performance of last year gave a great boom to the society, and its immediate result was a large increase in the number of members, all taking a great interest in the welfare and progress of the society. We trust that this...
