...racy article on "Harvard Happenings" appeared in last Saturday evening's Traveller. The writer considers the small attedance at the Glee Club concert. "Here." he says, "lies a moral: The Harvard Glee Club will draw a full house in any city it may deign to visit. Nowhere is it truer that a prophet is not without honor save in his own country than in Harvard College.

...foot-ball Yale's record is unmistakably superior to Harvard's, standing five games to one draw, there being no game in 1877. In 1876 the score was one goal to two touchdowns, showing that the victory was won by some accidental superiority in kicking, and not by the general excellence of the team.

...proven most deficient when compared with Yale's and Princeton's are those of reliable, united and co-ordinated play, and of the sureness that comes from constant and assiduous practice. Another great source of weakness for us lies in the lack of plentiful and well-trained material to draw from. As far as relates to rowing this fault has been remedied by the institution of class races and of permanent class crews. If follows as a legitimate conclusion from the Crimson's argument, we think, that the establishment of class nines should be undertaken, in order to furnish well...
