...there is certainly much to commend this. The position in which Harvard stands today is in danger of becoming equivocal. By withdrawing entirely from any systematized intercollegiate athletics, Harvard would occupy a completely defensible and consistent position. It looks, more over, in view of Yale's growing reticence to broach the question of a dual league, as if Harvard's only course lay in a consistent and thoroughgoing withdrawal. In such a position neither her motives nor her actions could be successfully assailed...
...that the class championship in football has been decided it seems fitting to broach the subject of awarding cups to the victorious teams. The work done by the members of all the class teams is certainly creditable and deserves some sort of recognition from the football association. If the winners of the fall scratch races receive cups for nothing save victory in one afternoon's sport it seems eminently more appropriate that men who have trained hard for a month should be rewarded for their work. The giving of cups also will, we believe, help along the end for which...
...wish to remind our readers of the new regulation which requires all blue-books to be handed in before the first day of examinations. It is with a heavy heart and with deep regret that we broach the subject of examinations at all; but time moves on and the irresistable current of events brings us nearer every day to that great series of catastrophes that mar so large a part of two of the finest months of the year.

...Practical Aspects of Journalism," to be delivered by one of the most prominent, and clear-headed journalists of New York State. Some time ago, we referred to the advisability of such a course of lectures for Harvard, and the sight of the above notice encourages us to again broach the subject. There are always large numbers of men here who intend to enter journalism, and their work would be vastly helped, and their success made far more probable, if some attention were given to them. The chronic poverty of the college seems to put out of the question any hope...
...fact, which, though not very new, is certainly very true,-the fact that it is almost impossible to study when "musical instruments" are being made use of in their neighborhood. We have spoken so often of this musical nuisance that it is with some hesitation that we again broach the subject, and yet, despite all that can be said, there are always a few men thoughtless enough to disturb those at work. Of all times in the year, the annuals is the one which ought to be held most sacred for "grinding," and any one who forgets this, and wantonly...
