...such concessions as have to be made cannot be entirely satisfactory. Though much ingenuity was shown by the delegates at Springfield, yet there remain many points, trivial as they may seem at first, which need explanation and remedying. We lose one of our best rules; for though touch-downs count something, we have not the right to try for a goal after the ball has been brought in. We are allowed, as before, to run with the ball after having caught it on the bounce or fly; but with this exception we seem to have gained nothing of importance...
...Faucon rushed in and secured the ball. The Harvard men rushed pell-mell into the field and chaired Herrick, though their enthusiasm was slightly cooled by the decision of the umpire that Herrick's kick was a "punt," not a "drop," and that, therefore, the goal did not count; Faucon's touch-down, however, did count. Seamans planted the ball beautifully between the posts, and the game was Harvard's. Further play was prevented by darkness. All the men did finely; Blanchard, Herrick, Cushing, Wetherbee, Seamans, and Hall being most worthy of praise...
...Loring, the captain of the crew which went to England, made some well-timed remarks which we hope will have the effect they deserve.

Mr. Watson of '69 agreed with Mr. Loring that the discipline had become lax, and that we put off the formation of the crew...
...divisions should be voluntary, and the member not marked on recitation; while attendance on the "B" should be compulsory, and the recitation marks averaged with the marks of the monthly examinations. Those who preferred to be marked on recitations could remain in "B" divisions. The examinations should count as a certain number of recitations, say an hour examination equal to three recitations; a two-hour examination to six, and a three-hour to nine, recitations...
...course is given on the "Greek and Latin Languages, Literature, Constitutional History, and Antiquities," and another on "Greek and Latin Comparative Philology," both of which promise to be very attractive. A new feature of the elective system is introduced in announcing several two-hour electives, with examinations to count as one-hour electives only. This supplies a want long felt. Many Seniors have wished to take one two-hour elective, but the paucity of good single-hour electives until now has forced them to put up with the four regular three-hour courses. With such interesting courses as are offered...
