We have been informed that the present freshman class contains several men who have made creditable records in the field games held at the preparatory schools from which they come.

As we leave the square to go up Brattle street we take a mere casual glance at the College. Only students could look thither with such indifference. The impression of the grandeur of the Harvard group of buildings died away in our freshman year. Still as we take our "casual glance," it might be well to remember that Wadsworth was once Washington's headquarters...
