...gratifying to know that the baseball and track athletic games may continue to be held on Holmes Field if only for another year. A refusal of the petition to the Corporation to allow grand stands to be erected on Holmes Field would have been, as has been pointed out before, a severe blow to the nine and to the Mott Haven Team both to their finances and to the interest and support taken in them.

Every man who is interested in the question to be considered should be present ready to express...
Some of the gentlemen who are opposed to the extension of Class Day over three days do not seem to appreciate the advantages which this arrangement offers to people coming from a distance, to see sons, or nephews or grand-sons graduate. The older folk generally want to stay for Commencement as well as Class Day and under the old regime they are obliged to fill the aching void between Friday and Wednesday as best they can. The three-day scheme, beginning of necessity on Friday, since the finals do not end till then, and lasting through Monday, offers...
