...little ground, but Porter misses a poor pass, and Princeton gets the ball in the centre of the field. Runs by R. Hodge and Cowan carry it dangerously near Harvard's goal, and Princeton, although losing the ball on a fumble, immediately regains it, and Ames carries it far into Harvard territory. Price, Cook and Ames gain but little, and rushes by Burgess, Harding, Fletcher and Sears recover nearly all the lost ground, and time is called with Princeton's ball slightly in Harvard territory...

We have often dwelt upon the insufficiency of our Scientific School as an institution, but not upon its accommodations. It seems, however, that the matter has been grasped from the latter standpoint, and that with a new building a reaction for the better upon the Scientific School itself is expected. The philosophy is good; for noblesse oblige. We must therefore take an interest in this new enterprise, and trust that a beneficent alumni, stimulated...
