...association was in every way satisfactory to those who participated in the various meetings, as well as to those who witnessed the exercises. The college has every reason to be proud of last year's achievements in track athletics, and the victories gained there are heightened by contrast with the ill success with which we met on field and water. It is needless to say that the students should support the association in all its efforts, as every man in college feels called upon on his own account to show an active interest in this branch of athletics. The success...
...well backed up by the other members of the team. Harding played a brilliant game, making several fine rushes and tackling well. Porter played a strong game as half-back, and made several long rushes, but he was poorly backed up. In no respect, perhaps, is the contrast between a Yale, a Princeton eleven and a Harvard eleven more marked than in the manner in which the runner with the ball is protected and supported by other members of the team. Harvard must learn to do this if she wishes to be at any position except third in the foot...
...striking contrast to Harvard's defeats last year in athletics are the victories of our representatives in field sports; and foremost among these is the remarkable record of Mr. Wendell Baker, who may be justly called the champion amateur sprint runner of the world.

The college has only to regret that Mr. Baker has decided to allow the end of his college course likewise to end his career as a runner...
While the examinations are going on around us, we daily have the unfairness of examination-marking shown to us empirically. An instance of this was the unusual difficulty of the paper in German 5 yesterday in striking contrast to the extreme fairness of the papers in both English 6, Spanish 2, and Political Economy 4. To be sure, an instructor may, by marking easily on a hard paper, put himself on a par with an instructor who marks an easy paper hard; but the very difference between the papers makes it uncertain that he will do so. This...
...striking contrast to the successes which most of our athletic teams have gained by labor and perseverance are the pitiful defeats of the Harvard cricket eleven. All our other athletic teams that use the name of their college go into regular practice and training, but the cricket eleven, although a desultory sort of practice is kept up, makes no pretense to keeping those rules and observances which the nine, the crew, or the lacrosse twelve consider as an absolute necessity for victory. It is a pity that Harvard should be represented on the crease in the way she has been...
