Apropos of the freshman jubilation last Saturday night, we wonder if the fact has ever occurred to the Athletic committee that since the committee began its memorable career these noisy demonstrations have been increasing both in intensity and frequency. In 1882 there was one grand celebration in the yard, occasioned by a victory over the Yale nine at New Haven, and the winning of the Mott Haven cup on the same eventful day. But, even on this great occasion, the college exulted without firecrackers and horns; and, furthermore, this was the only celebration of the year. Now, however, a class...
...With all the faults which are laid at the door of Harvard men,- of which, no doubt, an inconsiderable portion are justly attributed to them-they can not be charged with being indifferent, or callous toward pluck, and enterprise, when shown in their midst. Mr. Bowen's whole career in college, however, has exhibited these qualities strongly, and he has made a host of friends for himself thereby.

Lacrosse, which has had a very successful, although short career at Yale, has been obliged to suspend active participation in college sports because of pecuniary embarrassment, and the name of Yale has been dropped from the members of the Inter-collegiate Lacrosse Association. This is not the only exception to the general theory, for were it so, it might justly...
...Oxford Review of a recent date contains the following: "A great change affecting the army, is announced, which has unusual importance to members of the university who may contemplate a military career. Hitherto, Latin and Greek have been included among the voluntary subjects of the final examination by which it was possible to obtain extra marks and thereby compensate for deficiencies in other respects. Many a man in the good old times has gone up, relying mainly on his classics to pull him through, and has been eventually pulled through in this way, though, perhaps, in rather a battered state...
