EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON :-I read with great interest your editorial on the advisability of forming a photographic society, and would like to give, in a few words, my opinion on the matter. There are several uses for such a club. You have mentioned the social gain due to the interchange of opinions on the many difficult questions that so often arise. For photography is no child's play, whatever may be said or written on the subject. But the chief advantage to be gained here in Harvard by such a club is that, should there be enough money...
...hereafter we may learn to speak of Yale as a scientific school with a classical department attached. Compare these Yale figures with our own. The figures for 1883-84 at Harvard were 1522, an increase of nearly a hundred, and for 1884-85, 1586, a gain of 64. While Yale has gone backward during the last two years, the loss being ten men, Harvard has advanced rapidly in every department and shown a gain of over one hundred and fifty, the Harvard students to0day being exactly 500 in excess of those of Yale...
...beautiful quality, and her charming method was evidently very acceptable to the audience. In the well known Largo, by Handel, Herr Gericke introduced an innovation in causing all the first violins to stand in a row at the front of the platform.

Herr Gericke fully sustained the favorable impression he produced on the occasion of the first concert. He still pursues his policy of giving novelties-the symphonies...
...university turns to the general summary, and compares the figures with those of a year ago. The whole number of men enrolled for 1884-85, is found to be 1586, an increase of 64 over the year 1883-84. It is pleasing to notice also that this gain is quite generally distributed. There is not a department of the university, except the graduate department, which has not received part of this increase. The Veterinary School, started only last year, has now two classes, the new one consisting of ten men, and may be considered henceforth as a firmly established part...
Harvard tackled better than a week ago, but played a defensive game, never attempting to gain ground except by kicking. The fumbling by the backs except Willard, was bad, and Kimball made several flukes in kicking. The rushers blocked fairly but failed to get down on the ball in any kind of shape. Hurd, Finney, and Burgess, did the best work in the rush, each tackling low and hard. Peabody also tackled well. Willard caught and kicked superbly...
