...take pleasure in announcing in another column the St. Mark's alumni dinner which takes place January 3d, 1889. There is a two-fold purpose in holding these alumni dinners-one to bring the lower classmen in college into closer relations with men of the upper classes; the other to keep alive the interest of the graduates in the welfare and growth of their preparatory schools. These motives cannot be carried out unless all the alumni take an interest in them and make it a point to attend the dinners. The first dinner of the Alumni Association of St. Mark...
...means a discouraging one. For, while our team was clearly outplayed, there is not the slightest doubt that if the conditions had been more favorable, and the team had played as strongly as it has at times this fall, it would have given Princeton even a closer rub than it did. The twelve points by which we were beaten does not indicate how stubborn and close the contest was. The Harvard team played an up-hill game from the start and played it pluckily, and though the eleven proved weak in some unexpected places, and things happened which would have...

In 1876 and 1877 Yale again defeated Harvard, Columbia and Princeton. In 1878 some changes were made in the rules, tending to make the game closer and the number of players on each team was reduced to fifteen. That year Princeton won, with Yale second and Harvard third...
...forbidden altogether, and Harvard did not take part in any intercollegiate contests. During 1886 and 1887 a steady improvement was made and last year Harvard defeated Princeton 12 to 0 and succumbed to Yale only after a very hard battle. This year the contest promises to be closer than ever. All these colleges are doing their utmost. It will be impossible to predict the result until the last game is played...
