...meeting of the executive committee of the Harvard Fencing Club last evening it was decided to accept Columbia's challenge for a contest, on condition that the latter send the trophy that Harvard won last year to the Harvard Fencing Club. The trophy, which is to be an appropriate brouze statuette, has not yet been completed. The executive committee took this stand on the ground that the Harvard club could not be challenged for a trophy that it has never received, and also that the symbol of the victory of last year's team might be publicly exhibited...
...much activity at Yale is not without its influence here. If Harvard is to win, it is evident that she cannot be safely content with even her present high standard.

Several offences of a similar nature have been reported to me by other...
Such action should not be allowed to pass without protest. Harvard's two large sets of engravings are the only very valuable works of art in her possession, and without them it is difficult to see how even the diminutive Fogg Museum is to be filled: certainly no expenditure in that direction by the University can be expected. If, as we are told, "At the Fogg Museum the Gray and Randall collections would take about one-third of the total space for exhibition and administration purposes," there is surely no way in which such space could be more suitably occupied...
