Yale has defeated Harvard of late years but the reason is not apparent. We have more students than Yale and ought to put as good teams on the field. If our defeats are due to unscrupulousness on Yale's part, we must not complain, provided we have used the same means but not as successfully. All Harvard men naturally would like to see Harvard first in athletics, but victory must not be bought by a sacrifice of honor. Harvard students must remember that the object of this college is to fit men for the positions they will occupy in after...
...contributed by Professor L. B. R. Briggs. Critical articles on Harvard life and its influences have been so numerous of recent months that Harvard men are beginning to feel like specimens in an educational museum. If all the criticisms were as good humored as Professor Briggs' we could not complain.

The new sod in the yard is trampled all over every day by these irrepressible youngsters; they gather in swarms whenever the Glee Club sings, and on Wednesday they used Holmes Field as a play-ground while the cricket match was going on, got in everybody...
...thrilling one this is the risk with which the present system will have to contend. This new mode of public speaking has been introduced by Mr. Hayes, the present instructor of elocution, and to him the excellence of the declamation is in great measure due. Certainly no one can complain that the pieces were too long, but brevity in speaking is much more satisfactory to the audience than the other extreme...
