Tonight a University team meets Yale in a branch of sport which for some reason for other is regarded with less interest at Harvard than at almost any other university. The miserable facilities of the Hemenway Gymnasium account in part for this feeling, for they tend to prevent many men from playing basketball; but even so it is hard to understand why there are only 20 candidates for the team out of about 1450 men eligible to play. With such a small squad to begin with, and with a schedule shorter than most of the other teams have...
...very gratifying to not the unusual amount of interest taken this year in Harvard's campaign throughout the West and South. President Eliot left Cambridge yesterday on an extended trip to this section of the country, where he will visit many of the leading institutions of learning and speak before the various Harvard Clubs. This journey will take him further south than he went last year, and place him before many audiences who know little or nothing of the true spirit and ideals of the University. J. D. Greene '96, the secretary of the Corporation, is in Rochester today...

The enthusiasm aroused among the graduates by the visits of the President and his colleagues and the interest shown in their addresses by strangers cannot fail to increase the registration from the West and South to such an extent that it can no longer be said that Harvard does not represent the entire nation...
...success of the scrub hockey series bears witness to the increasing desire of the undergraduates to participate in intracollegiate athletics. Last year the Faculty deplored the great interest shown in intercollegiate sports to the exclusion of contests within the College, because the latter were less exacting and offered opportunities for exercise to a greater number of men than could play on the University teams. But when over 125 men take part in a minor sport series after a particularly interesting year of intercollegiate contests, this attitude seems to be unfounded. Scrub basketball, dormitory track and rowing, and Leiter Cup baseball...
...accurate and broad scholarship displayed in these volumes that Mr. Porritt was invited to give instruction at Harvard. As an active journalist Mr. Porritt is well known both in Europe and in America, and his regular letters to leading English journals on matters of American politics always interest a large circle of readers. The half-course which he is to give will deal with a field in which he possesses unusual proficiency and his lectures will doubtless be both instructive and interesting...
