...fielders, although at time brilliant, are erratic, the men failing to get in front of the ball properly. In throwing to bases improvement has been shown both in speed and accuracy. The work of the catchers is careless and very unsatisfactory. Although they hold the ball fairly well, they are slow in stepping out from behind the batter on a throw to bases. A number of the pitchers have developed excellent speed but have not as yet gained good control. The batting of the whole squad has fallen off, owing to a tendency to offer at bad balls...
...reduce the price of football tickets from two dollars to one dollar and a half? Why not cut down the cost of H. A. A. and season tickets? Why not minimize soliciting subscriptions? You ought to get your sports for less money. More of you will then take part and be interested. These things are possible by cutting the Stadium charge from $20,000 to$7,000 a year.

...should like to call attention to the possibility, under existing conditions of an appalling loss of life in case of fire in Sever Hall. There are no fire-escapes, and there is only one stairway leading to the ground floor. If a fire were to get started up this stairway during a recitation hour, several hundred men would probably be compelled to jump from the second or third story windows. The ladders of the College fire apparatus are quite inadequate for dealing with such large numbers...
