...hardly be expected that with but two weeks of trial the new system should work to perfection. It should certainly be accorded a fair trial before it is atterly condemned; if, after that trial, it proves inefficient, there will be time enough then to decry it. Young men are far too apt to find fault on the spur of the moment where no material fault lies; and college men most of all, perhaps, are prone to demand more than is their due. It certainly will not be amiss if the present system be allowed a little more time in which...
...Athletic Association was held last evening in Upper Massachusetts. A report was read from Mr. Mandell reviewing the work of the past year and commenting on the needs of the Association. Following that was the report of the treasurer, showing that though the expenses had been cut down as far as possible, yet the cost of some much needed repairs to the track, together with the comparatively small proceeds of the winter meeting had left the society in debt to the amount of about $400.

It is not our purpose to discourage you-far from that-on the contrary we extend to you our warmest greetings as Harvard men, and yet we are desirous of warning you against the indiscretions so common to men entering college. At this early period of your college career we urge you to be discreet, when it will often...
Despite the personal character of the football notice on another page it is earnestly desired that all men both old and new should as far as possible make their appearance at the practice on Jarvis field. The invitation is extended to those who have never played the game as well as those who are already familiar with its technicalities. A good physique is more desirable than previously acquired skill. That you have never played before need not deter you from learning now, and if you have not been already urged to play it is far from being proof that your...
