...Lampoon. Although its subscription list is not as yet large enough to insure its financial success, the editors have wisely determined to make the most effective appeal for support under the circumstances. In the showing made by the first number of the paper they should have an unanswerable argument in favor of its continuance. The paper sustains its excellent reputation of the past and we feel sure that the college will no longer hesitate about coming forward and by their liberal subscriptions show that the Lampoon must become a permanent institution of Harvard College...
...track is now finished, and affords good facilities to all for training. Nothing now is wanting to make Harvard's field athletics successful but a trainer. The success of our team at the intercollegiate games last year has been used as an argument against the need of a trainer; but when we come to examine the state of the case we find that nearly all of the events were won by old athletes, who had had the advantage of several years' experience under a professional trainer. One half the team have graduated, and unless something is done to bring...

The most perverse opponent of co-education and the higher education of women can not continue incredulous after such monumental success as this has crowned the four years' effort of the Annex. If such a result had been confined to the experiment entered into with such fear and tremboing at Cambridge, it might be considered something phenomenal...
Concerning Dartmouth's proposed effort to be re-instated in the college base-ball league the Princetonian says very soundly : "It is no argument in her favor that Harvard has not done well this year. Besides being a reasonable distance away, Harvard is a representative university, and whether her nine be good or bad for a particular year, no college can be said to have the championship unless Harvard has competed against...
