Dear Sir-Yale has had sufficient time now to make good her representations of last year, and it is time for Harvard to take a decided stand. We regret that it has been from our side, though not our fault, that this discussion might not have been brought up and settled earlier. Now, however, considering the circumstances under which the game was played last year in New York instead of in New Haven where it was originally arranged, we will state once and for all that we will play Yale this year in Cambridge on Thanksgiving day, and then...

...first of Professor Toy's four lectures on "Moslum Civilization" takes place in Boylston Hall tonight. A prevailing fault among the students here is that too little attention is paid to lectures given especially to their benefit and that only when some distinguished visitor speaks do they show their approbation by a good attendance. If Professor Toy were a member of some college other than our own, his reputation as a scholar and a traveller would undoubtedly bring out a large attendance, but the fact of his connection with the college means to a number of men that as they...
