...Nine played their first match of the season with the Bostons on the Union Grounds last Saturday. On account of the condition of Jarvis, the Nine were unable to get any practice during the week, and even if they had, the Bostons grounds were in such a state that it would have benefited them little.

It appears that drilling is a part of the required curriculum of the University, and that the students are so anxious to get rid of it that they propose to send a petition to the Trustees ("if the Faculty so advise") requesting their permission to have the obnoxious regulation abolished. Apropos of the article on Military Drill in the last Magenta, it expresses the friendly wish that the "infliction" may be transferred to Harvard, "body and spirit," - whatever that may mean...
