...Yale Divinity School have been assigned to assist the various pastors of the city in their mission. Fifty-three have been assigned to Congregationalist pastors, eleven to Methodist, twelve to Baptist, and a number to other denominations. A committee of two from each class have the matter in charge, among whom are Peabody and Means, graduates of Harvard last year. Of the Senior class nine are already preaching and most of the undergraduates are engaged in out side work...
...only requires practice to make any ordinarily strong man serviceable on a tug-of-war team. If Ninety-two is to make any kind of a showing at the winter meeting more men must try for this team, and at once. Class feeling must be weak indeed among the freshmen if the interest taken in the success of the tug-of-war contest can be taken as evidence.

All these men are fairly familiar with the game, but it remains to be seen whether there are among them more than the usual proportion of good players. The training at present will consist of light work in the gymnasium on the chest-weights and with dumb-bells, but it will be impossible to do any heavy work in the cage on account of the conflict made with...
