...number of men who will accompany the eleven on their trip to New Haven turns out to be but a mere handful. What a contrast is this with the enthusiasm which led over two hundred men to make a similar journey two years ago. Is the cause to be looked for in a decrease of interest among the students in inter-collegiate games? We think not. Rather let us ascribe the smallness of the number to the slimmer chances of success. Two years ago Harvard had played a tie game with Princeton, and when the game with Yale came...

This society is to be more a club than a secret society, and the building will be fitted up very luxuriously, in great contrast to the gloomy halls of the "Skull and Bones," and of the "Scroll...
