...Trophy Room Committee, composed of Mr. J. L. Coolidge, O. G. Frantz '02 and W. E. Ladd '02, has voted in favor of moving the trophy room from the Gymnasium to the Union, and has sent a report to that effect to the Athletic Committee. They give as reasons for the change: First, that the change has been approved by Mr. Hemenway and in general by the undergraduates; second, that the room in the Gymnasium is too small and too far away from undergraduate activity to be suitable for the purpose; third, that the present room is needed...

Mackay '04 are reliable halfbacks. It is possible...

In order that professional judgment may be had at the hearing, two civil engineers, Mr. P. M. Blake of Newton and Mr. Rudolph Herwig of New York, have been engaged.

...number of the Lampoon shows throughout a sense of what is proper and fiting for the occasion. A Yale game is emphatically a serious proposition; for this reason, no doubt, almost all humorous matter has been edited from the pages of the present issue. Exceptions have been made in favor of "The True Story of Sampson," which is undeniably funny, if rather long-winded; and of a caricature sketch, by far the best thing of its kind that has come out for a long time. The editorials are prosy and excited no false hopes. A great deal of dull poetry...
