Parades of such proportions as the one tonight present certain dangers as well as desirable features. There will be in the neighborhood of 2000 men in line, and a long circuit has been mapped out to march over. No one claimed for a minute that the good done the Republican party by the parade four years ago was one-tenth as great as the harm suffered by Harvard College. Even the remote possibility of the recurrence of such an episode in which college men disgraced themselves in the public eye has prompted the Student Council to supervise the arrangements made...
...Browne is doing well at the opposite position. Houston, who has been laid up the greater part of the season, is getting into shape again, and should show up well from now on. R. Brown, Cutting and Harding are all good men. The backfield is not so certain. Cutler will probably remain at quarterback, and Corbett and White should have no trouble in holding their positions.

Still, a fair proportion of the meetings should be devoted to open discussion of topics which interest not only debaters, but scholars, athletes, and everyone else. This arrangement gives practice in clear thinking...
...story appeared in the Boston Journal of October 17 stating that a student from South Boston had made certain remarks about his chances of making the football team. I presume that Mr. O'Flaherty is referred to. Mr. O'Flaherty is not eligible for the team, as this is his first year. He was urged to come out by me. He made no such suggestions or remarks as the Journal states. W. F. GARCELON...
