...strength to cope with our opponents. The men, collectively, are the smallest that have ever tried for places on an eleven here. The captain has requested that every large man in college, whether an old player or not, should present himself on the grounds and play, but his appeal seems to have fallen on deaf ears. It is evident that there are plenty of men of the necessary size in college; as yet, however, they have not turned out. This is a strange condition of affairs. Do those men who hold our very chances of success in their hands, mean...
...they may find it convenient. I hope that the many members who promised to write a class life after their examinations were over will not forget to do so, and that those lives now written will be dropped through my door or given to me personally. Once more I appeal to every member of the class not to forget this one piece of work he has to do.

...correspondent of the Advertiser has come to the front on the subject of the inadequacy of the accommodations afforded to the audiences present at the lectures of the Harvard Historical Society. We do not know whether this appeal will have any more effect upon the college authorities than one from the undergraduates, or not. It certainly seems a very penurious policy on their part to deny the free use of Sanders Theatre, when by so doing they would so obviously promote the comfort and convenience of both undergraduates and the general public. We have no doubt that in default...
