...other vexed questions. It may be found at first that Harvard and Yale will agree on a set of rules slightly different from those of Yale and Princeton. One set of rules, one standard of eligibility, which is what we hope most to see, will eventually be found most fair and the good sense of college men will see that it is generally adopted. While it is true that dual leagues cannot be formed between the larger institutions and all the smaller ones it should be remembered that this does not interfere with games between them. Whether this plan will...
...Even were it reasonable to do either one of these things we cannot from our position, side with one contest to the exclusion of the other. This combination of events on one day is unfortunate, but nothing can be done about it except to treat all of them as fairly as possible. It will be only just for as many men as possible to give at least part of the afternoon to the athletic meeting on Holmes; the seniors and juniors should certainly see part of the class game and then, if possible, should attend the track meeting. Certainly...
...part of the spectators. This enthusiasm has run riot at some of the games to the extent of filling up the playing space with a surging mass of class partisans. Obviously this sort of conduct, though it may be nothing but heedlessness, interferes with a just and fair settlement of class supremacy in football.

At the class baseball games, where certainly the enthusiasm is just as great, classmen are generally content to stay outside the lines; the feeling should...
...freshman games this afternoon bid fair to be a thorough success. It only remains for the men in ninety-seven to turn out in full force and cheer on their classmates. A large crowd will help much to make records, the pride in which the whole class may share. Members of the H. A. A. are admitted free; to others an admission fee is charged. The H. A. A. has so many meetings under its management that a life membership is sure to pay men who are interested in track games. It is the part of foresight for all such...
...foundation of the society dates back to 1837. Since then the interest in it has varied. Two years ago it fell very low, but now has again revised and bids fair to continue. In '90 the use of a room on the second floor of Dane Hall was given the society, but they have since moved to their present quarters. There is a considerable library at the disposal of the members; 421 bound volumes, many quite valuable, and upwards of 1,000 pamphlets. The whole was carefully catalogued last year, and is conducted now, similarly to the departmental libraries...
