...fill up the vacancies on the team. There is no reason whatever, why Harvard should not have as good a Cricket eleven as the University of Pennsylvania. The freshmen especially, among whom we have every reason to believe there is good material, are invited to join the Association and come out next spring and try for positions on the team. We trust that no further appeal will be necessary to arouse the patriotism of Ninety...
...seem to appreciate. When we consider the great pains Prof. Peabody takes in this matter of supplying the chapel pulpit Sunday evenings, it seems to us that the congregation should be made up more largely of students and less of Cambridge people. These ministers, in many cases, come from great distances for the sake of delivering one address to Harvard men who should feel duly bound to extend them a cordial welcome, and who, for their own sakes, should take full advantage of the rare opportunities thus offered them...
...great importance. There seems to be a general impression that the Thames course does not by any means allow of three crews racing upon it at the same time.

Alumni who have studied abroad can testify that they have seen a passage in Aristotle "stump" a whole class in Berlin University, until it came to one of our own graduates, who translated it with ease.

"I do not know much of it," was the reply; "but where you came from they knew how to teach Greek!" And that is beginning to be the world's comment: "We do not hear much...
...Yale University freshman navy managers are much puzzled because their challenge to the Harvard and Columbia freshman oarsmen has not yet been answered. They firmly believe that they can come in first. Twenty-three men in all are in training for the crew, and Hartridge, the captain, thinks that there is better material in the crew of '90 than has appeared before in many years. Over forty men are now in training for the athletic events. The long distance runners cover several miles a day, and are under the care of Lane, '88, who seizes every available opportunity to exercise...
