...score of 10 to 0. At no time during the game was the victory in doubt, and twice the University team lost good opportunities to score. Burr's goal from placement on Williams's 43-yard line was the feature of the game, and his punting gave Harvard a constant advantage throughout the game. During the first half the play was fairly even; the offence of both teams was weak, and they were frequently forced to punt. During the last half, after the second set of backs were put in, the University team played its best game this year...
...College. Now, thanks to the CRIMSON, the journalistic scavengers have to work from the outside or not at all; for they are refused access to the general news collected by the paper itself. To make its own utterances more and more authentic and reliable should be the CRIMSON'S constant endeavor. The paper should represent all the varied interests of the students, record University events, and speak for the students' Harvard. One incongruity that has crept in of late years might well be abolished--namely, the practice of having books and the other college publications reviewed by members...
Gibbon's ambition from early youth, he said, was to be a writer of history, and his early life was one of constant study and preparation for his great life work, "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire."

...library, one of the finest of its kind in the world, now contains 37,449 books and pamphlets, 1,801 having been added during the past year. Professor Pickering strongly emphasizes the fact that this most valuable collection "is, however, in constant danger of destruction by fire, and is scattered through the rooms of the observatory," making the need of a new structure imperative. The photographic department is especially valuable, as it enables the observatory to trace the history and variations of a star while most other observatories must base their calculations on its present conditions...
...adopted to limit the forward pass, either of which would be beneficial. The first method would be to limit the men who could receive the pass to the quarterback, halfbacks, and fullback, and eliminate the five-yard boundary on each side of centre, which is not only a constant annoyance to the officials, but makes a decision only an arbitrary expression of opinion, and not of fact. It might be well to allow two passes in each play, the same four men only being eligible to receive it. This would open up the play still more, but still make...
