...depended upon for the greater bulk of the money and with them rests in a great measure the successful issue of the plan. A committee of three has been appointed to canvass the alumni of the college for subscriptions. According to all accounts the alumni who have so far been seen have given their hearty support to the plan verbally, but it yet remains to be seen what they will do financially. There is no doubt that Columbia needs a gymnasium of her own in the worst way, as she is entirely dependent upon a preparatory school close...

We shall...
...play foot-ball now we have a chance. There is plenty of good material in college; but if we wish to beat Yale we must have a good captain. Unless the best man is elected to that position there is no especial point in having an eleven. So far no captain has been elected. The members of the eighty-five eleven have so far been unable to give anyone a clear majority. Why the eighty-five eleven should elect the captain for eighty-seven, nobody seems to know. The custom has always been for the eleven of one year...
