...twenty-one Harvard-Yale track meets that have been held since 1891, the Crimson has won a bare majority, the decisive victory last year being the eleventh. The standing as regards the nine year trophies which graduates have offered, however, is a tie, each university having won a cup and two legs on the present prize (no meet in 1896). This year, especially since the Cornell meet, Harvard would seem to be the logical favorite, for good material and a team with well distributed strength have fallen...

That would be worth while...
...that any article of any kind is not worth publishing simply for the sake of giving practice and encouragement to writers. The production of one undergraduate magazine which should represent the combined efforts of all students ambitious to write, which should aim at something beyond the goal of bare self-support, and, most of all, whose various departments should offer something worth reading to every man in the University, is the highest aim possible for undergraduate literary enterprise...
