...Gate of the Class of 1877 from 9 A.M. to 6 P.M. Two hundred and sixty two of our classmates out of 620 voted at the election last November.

In the Yale game...
This year we are neither optimistic nor pessimistic. There will be no excuses to offer at the end of the season, and the better team will win, but the Harvard team will be the best on the field that...
