...Haynes, '89, read the Bowdoin Prize Dissertation on "The Prospect of a Constitutional Government in Germany," before an audience interested in the subject, last night in Sever 5. He said that the first step towards a constitution was taken after the fall of Napoleon, when the confederation of the German states was formed.

Last fall Mr. Cady had several of the candidates practicing of Holmes' Field under his direction and by this preliminary training he has been able to get some idea of the kind of material which it will fall to his lot to train. The following are the candidates and the positions...
...lacrosse men for out-door practice, but this has been lately succeeded by a colder spell, so nothing of importance has been accomplished. Considerable interest has been awakened in lacrosse by the winning of the championship last spring and by the exciting and closely contested class series in the fall. Of course every effort possible will be made to retain the championship in this branch of athletics, though it will be a difficult task to win from such teams as our rivals are preparing to put in the field next spring...
