Though Harvard has not played any championship games, the character of the team and of its work has been such that the sport has suffered no detriment, but has followed out the same lines of development which have been influencing all branches of athletics at Harvard.

Wool-producing, too, has increased more rapidly than the manufacturing of woolen goods and in time the wool produced in this country will satisfy the demands of the manufacturers. Then, too, it is a benefit to the manufacturer to have...
