...ball game with Princeton has for a number of years been followed by a serenade given in honor of the Princeton nine and its supporters. But last Monday the Princeton men left Cambridge immediately after the game so that there was no occasion for a serenade, and considering the result of the game, no occasion for joyful demonstration. Furthermore the evening was damp and disagreeable, sufficient excuse in itself for not singing. An item in yesterday morning's CRIMSON states that ".several parties of ladies and gentlemen waited in the yard in the rain for half an hour or more...
...attention of the college should be drawn to the Memorial services which are to take place on Monday in Memorial Hall. We published yesterday a programme of the exercises, which will surely be impressive and worthy of the noble cause they are intended to honor.

I saw a running match of one hundred yards, one for a quarter of a mile, and a rattling one mile...
That Mr. Nichols, who for four years held a position of responsibility and honor on our' Varsity nine, should have decided not to play this year is much to be regretted. Those who were in college two years ago can never forget the unparalleled record which was made by our nine then, and moreover, they can never think of that season without remembering how great was Mr. Nichols' share in bringing about its measure of success. The combination of accidents which made his work less effective a year ago has done nothing to lessen the popular confidence which...
