Another important contribution to the number is "A Prelude in Purgatory," a poem of some length by W. V. Moody '92. To criticise a single poem fairly or well is almost impossible.

Although it was suggested to place the new building upon the corner of Oxford and Kirkland streets, it has now been almost definitely decided to place it at the corner of Quincy and Harvard streets.

The rest of the half was spent in punting, and in a single attack by Yale on the Harvard line, without gains...
