...which have recently been sent to the Faculty by members of the Senior Class, and which will be of interest to them. It is very unfortunate that when affairs seemed to be taking a more favorable turn, certain members of the Class should have seen fit to endeavor to defeat the arrangements. There are a large number of students who have borne a prominent part in originating and carrying on the present troubles, who take no active share in Class Day, and do not help to defray its expenses. Such persons also constitute the majority of those who oppose...
...present record of the Nine. The two games in Boston during the recess were very finely played. The last was one of the most interesting and exciting games ever played upon those grounds. By a glorious hit in the ninth inning, victory was snatched from the very jaws of defeat only to be quickly thrown back by three or four unfortunate errors.

The score shows that Harvard had really the best of the match, as she obtained three touch-downs, while Yale secured one goal; but, whatever the match shows, still it is nominally a defeat for Harvard. It is said that Seamans missed a place-kick for the first time during a match. We hope that Harvard will soon regain her laurels; indeed, we are magnanimous enough to wish that no club may ever beat her, except our own, or some other Canadian team...
