...disposition of a large number of undergraduates to make a slight personal sacrifice. As the game comes on the day before Class Day, many men, underclassmen as well as Seniors, will have friends in Cambridge, and it is hardly fair to ask them to leave their guests to find their way alone, in order to march in the parade. Those, however, who shun the cheering section merely because of the discomfort of walking in a crowd, should realize that they have more responsibility than at a professional game. Numbers count in cheering as well as enthusiasm, and a half-filled...
...Pritchett '08 has been appointed captain in his place. With Slater in the box, the Juniors will have a decided advantage, as he is the third best pitcher in College.

Although we realize that the position must be a trying one, and that many foolish and useless questions are asked, nevertheless the attendants are paid to help find and distributed the books, and long service and thorough knowledge of the shelves is no excuse for curt answers and halfhearted assistance...
...benefit of the needy members of the incoming Freshman Class would do a real service. We believe there are plenty of men leaving College each year who either live so far from Cambridge that it is unprofitable to take their college furniture with them, or for other reasons find it easier to dispose of most of their room fittings after graduation. It is true that Seniors frequently find an opportunity to sell their furniture to friends in the incoming class, but perhaps more often they must depend upon professional dealers to whom they sell for a half or a quarter...
