...formation of a Harvard Dramatic Society, which shall unite the best talent now scattered over a large number of club performances. The highly satisfactory performances of this week in the Elizabeth Cary Agassiz House indicate what might be done by such a union, and there is reason to hope that it is within sight. The author of the article on "Crew Prospects" writes with an assurance very impressive to the ignorant layman. The reviewer gathers that the Varsity eight is to be beaten by Cornell and Yale, but that the Freshman and the four should win at New London...

The baseball team has already shown its "fighting" spirit, and we feel that the track team will not be found wanting when the real test comes this afternoon...
...appreciate fully the feelings of our Chinese students at this time when a serious famine threatens to sweep their country. We are told that if Harvard men realized the gravity of the situation they would gladly give aid, and it is for this reason that we hope as many students as possible will attend the entertainment tonight...
