...first game (an exhibition one) this afternoon with the Shamrock club of Cambridge. A number of men have been included in the eleven that will play today, with the view of testing their abilities. No serious practice has been possible as yet, owing to the lack of a suitable ground, or rather any ground at all, About ten games have been arranged for this spring, two of them-those with the University of Pennsylvania and Haverford College-being for the intercollegiate championship. If a suitable ground can be had the prospects for a good eleven this year seem encouraging...
...Storey and Mr. H. H. Darling. In "Public Opinion as a Force," Mr. T. Wheelwright has answered convincingly some of the arguments advanced by Mr. Darling in "Partisanship or Independence in Politics-a Choice" although on other points he has not met his opponent squarely.

The only thing which at present delays such a decision is the want of good ground there. An effort is being made to have Hampden Park put in suitable condition; if the plan should succeed, Springfield will certainly be selected as the place for the game. Such a decision would be eminently satisfactory to Harvard...
...that spring is upon us and the winter's thaw is leaving the ground, we take this early opportunity of urging all to be careful not to walk on the edges of paths, which intersect the college yard. Last spring no such warning was given and the result was that towards the end of April the yard presented a rather wild appearance: corners were trodden down, edges were worn off, whole plots of grass had disappeared. The college authorities naturally saw themselves compelled to restore the yard to its usual well kept condition, but this fact should not be cause...
