These costumes are worn by members of the teams and one else is supposed to wear them.

The principal objection men seem to have now a-days to woman sufferage is that if women were empowered to vote they might disagree with the 'Iords of creation' in political matters as, it is said, they have a habit of doing in many others; but the way in which Wellesley supports the views of Harvard, as expressed by the canvass made by the Union a few weeks ago, shows plainly that these sweet girl graduates and students are of one mind with us.
