...CRIMSON board has received a very prettily-gotten up copy of "Jack, the Fisherman," Miss Elizabeth Stuart Phelps' new story. Although it is a tale with a moral, it is one of the most powerful and interesting stories ever written. It is the life of a Gloucester fisherman who, inheriting a taste for rum, rapidly follows the downward course, and ends by killing his wife and himself, leaving a little child to face the world alone. No story could be more sad and pathetic. In it are clearly shown the influence of a good woman and the susceptibility of even...
Much as Harvard has differed from Princeton on the fundamental principles which should govern college organizations, and although we adhere as firmly as ever to the doctrines of President Eliot, still it is impossible not to feel that the retirement of Doctor McCosh from the Presidency of Princeton College is a loss to that institution.

Last season the meeting with Columbia at the armory did much to awaken an interest in that sport here, and the team which represented Yale last Spring was the best she ever sent out. This fall a series of pulls between six teams representing the entire university, have been arranged, each team to pull three times with every other team, and the final pull to be a feature of the winter games. It is hoped...
...following criticism of the Yale foot-ball eleven, which appeared in last Sunday's Globe, must be taken with the same amount of caution as are all reports about Yale athletic teams originating in New Haven. Although the backs may be poor, the rush line is certainly phenomenally strong; and will probably more than make up for the rest of the team...
