...matter under consideration, and have not therefore announced their policy. We feel confident that the spirit among the professors is decidedly favorable to athletics, and no restrictions will be made that will injure them. Whatever is done by the several colleges should be done in unison. If Harvard is forbidden to play with professional nines, it would be placing her at a disadvantage if she is the only college thus restricted. The Princeton faculty has not answered President Eliot's letter in the affirmative. The object of the whole scheme, as we understand it, is to discourage excesses in inter...
...allowed to play any games with professional clubs. The second matter taken up by the committee was the advisability of allowing athletes to have a "professional" trainer. In considering this matter it seemed best to them to remove all sanction from such trainers, and they have therefore forbidden any "professional" trainer to appear on the college grounds.

If the authorities will repeal this decree professional clubs can be invited, and will gladly accept, to play the 'Varsity in Cambridge...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Aroused by an article in the last Advocate, we determined to see Memorial Tower. Thursday we visited it, and shall not soon forget its beauties, nor its coal-gas, either. By the kindness of the "warden of the tower" we were allowed to pass through the forbidden door "into the loft." This abounds in unfinished woodwork and undisturbed dust. Through the middle runs the picturesque ventilator, which might be converted into an elevator for passengers to the tower (two cents a trip). After much climbing we reach the balcony (where the pigeon holes are), and here...
