Here the old tunes forever will ring, Calling up thoughts of the Yard in Spring. "Schneider" forever will lead his band, "My love at the window" will always stand. "The Dutch Companie" the best will remain, "Fair Harvard" will sound in noble refrain, The "rudder" will always be shown, in song, To that crew to which none of us care to belong. Here, deathless that hymn which years cannot stale Which evokes the warm hope of "to-something-with Yale." And the later tunes they'll warmly greet - "To the Crimson, Glory," and "Up the Street."

Five or six men made an average of twenty-five yards, but Ristine won through better speed and form. The drop kicking was decided principally on speed and accuracy. Taylor made three fair goals at a difficult angle from the twenty-five yard line, and was awarded the prize. The place kicking contest was decided solely on accuracy, Rainsford being the only contestant to get three goals from the twenty-five yard line...
...Appropriately preceding Mr. Hurlbut's article are three inspiring verses "To Harvard College," by Dean Brigg. The only other contributions in this number, except for a sonnet and a short poem, are part of the Bowdoin Prize Essay for 1900-01, which is a comparison of Thackeray's "Vanity Fair" with the play "Becky Sharp," and an unoriginal story called "Sailor Jack's First Voyage...
