The Exeter manager secured special permission from the faculty to play on that day, and telegraphed to Cambridge to have the team come if it could reach Exeter by a certain hour in the early part of the afternoon. The combined efforts of the '91 captain and manager failed to find on the time-table the train which was scheduled to reach Exeter at the said time.

The advantage to be derived from the intimate association with Christian men from colleges all over this country and from England which can be had at Northfield cannot be overestimated. It gives a spiritual uplift which can come in no other way. If Harvard should send a large delegation to the meeting, which extends this year from June 29 to July 10, the men would bring back a practical enthusiasm which would give the whole religious life of the university a decided impetus. Those who are interested in broadening...
