...FOOT-BALL is the favorite sport in fall, and we hope that Holmes Field will be kept in constant use, for our foot-ball team owe it to themselves and to the College to place themselves on a level with the crew and the nine. It is true that the team will suffer severely by the loss of so many good players from '77; but there seems to be no reason why, with steady practice, a team could not be formed strong enough to bring back the laurels which were lost at New Haven last year...
...have once acted greatly," says George Eliot, "seems a reason why we should always be noble." Harvard's successes last June at Springfield and Hartford make it incumbent on those in whose hands are placed our boating and ball interests for the coming year to see that the laurels so nobly won are as nobly retained.

...Library is now in a particularly flourishing condition. The ball has been set rolling, and all that is necessary is to keep it in motion. The Librarian will have to turn his attention to systematizing, classifying, and arranging the books as they pour in, rather than to soliciting additions, as was the custom of yore. With his flattering success with the enormous City of Boston Library, it will be safe to predict a successful administration for Mr. Winsor...
