In lacrosse, tennis and track athletics there can be but little doubt every effort will be made to better our records, and there seems to be great probability that these efforts will be successful.

It certainly seems a very penurious policy on their part to deny the free use of Sanders Theatre, when by so doing they would so obviously promote the comfort and convenience of both undergraduates and the general public. We have no doubt that in default of such liberality a public subscription in the college could easily be raised, sufficient to pay the expenses of Sanders Theatre...
