...injured in the late boat-house disaster are now in a fair way to recovery does not absolve the college authorities from the charge of gross carelessness and neglect. The accident might have cost several lives, and because things turned out much better than there was much reason to expect, the whole matter should not be slurred over and forgotten. The college authorities were responsible for the accident, and the narrow escape from something more serious should be a lesson to them which no amount of fortunate circumstances, nor any lapse of time, should allow them to forget...
...time is now rapidly drawing near when we may expect the appearance of the Harvard Index, when the freshman underlines his name in the list of the Bicycle Club or Total Abstinence League and proudly sends it hime to his admiring parents, and so it may be interesting to note the differences between the annuals of our various sister colleges and compare them with our own less pretentions, but very useful representative.

...used until late this autumn they will undoubtedly be worse next spring than ever before. Last year they were bad enough, and then we had more of them, and those now under the new track were the best of all. This is a poor lookout for those who expect to play tennis on college ground, and they are already beginning to grumble because the Tennis Association does not seem anxious to take measures to improve the courts. And there will be a great deal more of this grumbling next spring, when a diminished number of courts is crowded with...
