Eighty-eight has not met the expectations of the college. By its defeat in Saturday's game it has gained the unenviable distinction of being the only class now at Cambridge which has been forced to lower its colors to an Exeter eleven. After the victory over Andover, we felt sure that only the most brilliant work would be done by our freshmen team. But now, with the Yale freshmen game close at hand, the class is forced to register a defeat in its records. It is true that the Exeter eleven is the best that the academy...

Aside from the influence that success or defeat has in the outer world-aside even from the honor of the college involved in these intercollegiate contests, the physical welfare of the students is vitally bound up in them.

Question if the advertisers do not err in sending around their cards at such an unearthly hour as 8 o'clock in the morning. They thereby, it would seem, defeat their own ends. We are met in corners and in doorways, and cards and bills are thrust into our faces. Complimentary tickets are at our plates at meals. Samples from new newspapers to "choice cigarettes" are put into our hands. Scarcely a day passes that we are not in some way reminded of some branch or other, small and great, of Cambridge or Boston business. Our mails are, perhaps, nearly...
