...captain of the football eleven, in adopting the plan of training the candidates for next year's team, which is described in another column, has made a departure from the methods that have prevailed heretofore, which, it seems to us, must bring forth good results next fall. Harvard opens so late in the autumn that the time for training the eleven is much shorter than it ought to be. Training in the winter and spring, therefore, calculates to develop muscles called into play in foot-ball, and will be of especial value to men who intend...
...another column is a notice of two lectures to be given by Mr. Lawton from the Medea of the Euripides. From his past work and success, it is certain that the lectures will be not only instructive but interesting, so that all who can, should avail themselves of this opportunity to hear Mr. Lawton. When either the University or some club provides us with a chance to hear a man distinguished in any branch of learning, it is only fair and right that the students should show an appreciation of the favor by their presence in numbers large enough...
...another column we publish a communication urging the establishment of a chair of journalism at Harvard. Each succeeding year witnesses the enlargement of the curriculum by the new courses in modern languages, science and philosophy, but not a step has yet been made to establish a course whose need is greatly felt.

...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...
...plan recently adopted at Princeton, and mentioned in another column, of publishing a magazine devoted particularly to special investigation and papers by the students in the different departments of the college, seems to deserve consideration here at Harvard. Our university is certainly large enough to support such a quarterly, and the advantages to be derived from it would be considerable. In many of our departments work is now done very creditable to the college and the individuals alike; and the aggregate amount of this special work is quite sufficient to fill a fair-sized quarterly. The privilege, too, of having...
