...delay in getting the chess cup has been caused partly by the necessity of executing satisfactory bonds for its safe return, but chiefly by the difficulty of finding a suitable place for its exhibition. We have been unable to find a place that is both public and reasonably secure, but have finally decided, with the consent of the authorities, to put the cup in the Art Room of the Library.

One secret of success in the past is that it has always been the policy at Cambridge to get out as large a number of men as possible and to devote attention to the second and third rate performers as well as to the stars. Since the formation of the dual league Yale's feeling has been much the same with the result that we know only...
