Although Columbia had no 'varsity eleven this fall, a great deal of interest was taken in foot-ball. Class teams were formed, and every day the men went up to the polo grounds to practice.

On the same days the juniors played the seniors, and easily won by a score of 30-0. This...

...varied and unusually good, and in many respects this number may be considered the best of the current volume, though it is difficult to pronounce even this issue more worthy since all preceding ones have been of such undeniable merit.

The remarks about a prospective rowing tank are especially noteworthy and the suggestions deserve to be put into practice without delay.
