...much larger part of the work connected with the University than the large majority of us imagine. It is interesting to note the rapid growth which the school has made in the past few years. At the beginning of its work a few summers ago its projectors had the hope that it would supply a long felt need. Not only has it accomplished this purpose, but it has succeeded in developing for itself a very distinct work. It has given an unparalleled opportune to teachers from outside the college to learn the best methods of instruction in the various departments...
...Harvard and Yale for competition in track athletics by some graduates of these two colleges has caused considerable comment. The Harvard CRIMSON sees the first signs of a step which will ultimately terminate in the dual league.

Thus far in the season, the team has shown itself unable to play two good games in succession. We hope that this condition will end with the game this afternoon. The college is certainly giving the nine the best of support. It is a very encouraging sign when there is as large an attendance as has turned out for the last few games...
