There was a goodly array of umbrellas on Jarvis Field, yesterday afternoon, about a thousand people being present, including many ladies. There was little wind, but the rain came down pretty steadily all through the game, making the ground and the ball hopelessly slippery. Harvard had the west end of the field and the kick off. Woodman led off with a run which did not last very long and Faulkner followed it with another, but the ball was lost to Wesleyan. Wesleyan kicked the ball up the field into Sears' hands. A long pass gave Porter a chance...
...There is also a list of class reports, and of discussions pertaining to the place of classics in education. The last division and the one which fills nearly the entire pamphlet is the catalogue of publications of the instructors of the university. We may well be proud of this array of the works of our eminent men. Forty-two closely printed pages of two columns each, are requisite to record the list of the teachings which have gone forth into the world from our college professors. There is nothing in this pamphlet that is not directly to the point...
...recent article in the New Englander entitled "Yale under President Porter," by Mr. Henry C. Kingsley, treasurer of the college has been commented on in the columns of the CRIMSON. The array of figures presented by Mr. Kingsley suggests a comparison with the changes wrought here during President Eliot's administration, which began two years earlier than did President Porter's.

Yet what is the real state of matters? A glance at the array of craft tucked away upon the brackets discloses the fact that, aside from the shells and barges belonging to the regular crews, there is not a boat obtainable in which a student who cannot swim, who has a large family dependent on him for support, and whose life is not insured...
...Universe. Bunyan is continually saying, "Now I saw in my dream." And thus a thousand and one instances might be cited, in which, merely as a flight of the imagination, or to serve a more practical Deus-ex-machina end, dreams have been used by authors. Before such an array of wonderful dreams, we cannot but admit that dreams are among the strangest things in a strange universe. We begin to feel as humble as old Socrates, who said that he knew only that he knew nothing. It is from this very fact of our growing humility that I draw...
