...that the lacrosse team has brought one championship back to Cambridge it seems but fair to ask the college to testify its appreciation in some more substantial manner than by mere praise. The association has been put to heavy expense in arranging the tour just ended, while its receipts have been smaller this year than is customary, partly owing to the difficulty of obtaining a respectable number of paying spectators at the games played upon our unfenced grounds, and partly from the fact that the undergraduate purse has showed great reluctance to loose its strings when called upon to help...

But although the track was in a better condition than last year, the general management of the games was very lax, some of the officials being so incompetent or prejudiced that Harvard suffered the loss of at least two events...

Altogether, however, the day bids fair to be a brilliant one for Harvard...
