...will represent Harvard in the game with the strongest of the school elevens. The freshmen have labored under some disadvantages this year that former teams have not had to contend against. The want of a university eleven to practice against, and from which to get points, has been strongly felt. The upper-class elevens have done their best to remedy this difficulty; but as they are themselves trying candidates for different positions, there is necessarily much loose play. While this could not have been helped there are other matters wherein eighty-nine has not done all that might be expected...

The meetings will not be exactly historical seminars, but they will have the same improving influence.

Several complaints have recently been received concerning the actions of the bursar. There has long been felt throughout the college a dissatisfaction at the conduct of this gentleman toward the students. Many of his acts have bordered slightly on the tyrannical with no rules to support them. It is true that in past years, and even at present, perhaps, some of the students have irritated the bursar by their strenuous efforts to acquire rooms despite his efforts to the contrary. Notwithstanding this, the innocent should not be made to pay the penalty due the guilty. At least there should...
