...change I would suggest to the present Senior Class is to abandon this farce of class lives, and have a large class-book with pages assigned to every man ever connected with the class.

If we might make...

We hope that Harvard will soon regain her laurels; indeed, we are magnanimous enough to wish that no club may ever beat her, except our own, or some other Canadian team...
