...would like to say, which may be apropos of the recent discussions about sensational reporting, in regard to some little differences which have occurred within the university. and to the talking over of college matters in general. However much they may feel it, Harvard men generally do not display outwardly as much loyalty to their university as they might. We should be like the old noble families.

More attention must be paid to field playing if the few games which may be played are to be at all interesting for the spectators. Although the club exhibited laudable enterprise...
...glad to find the announcement of the first Physical Seminar in the calendar for this week. These seminars are to be in the hands of undergraduates and their lectures, aided by the display of striking experiments, promise to be more interesting to the students at large than were the more abstruse papers read in former years. It is to be hoped that many men will attend these seminars...
