...hardly need urge men to answer fully and carefully the questions it asks. Everyone will see how nearly the result of the investigation will affect the future position of Harvard in athletics, and how useless the result will be if not complete and accurate. Everyone who holds the interest of his college dear-and we are certain that there are few who do not-must do all he can to make the way clear for intelligent action on the part of those who govern it. We are certain the faculty have taken the right course for clearing away the difficulties...
...repeated. In the second part the Pierian strings gave Rheinholds prelude and after a rough introduction performed the number in a delicate and distinct manner. A word is due Mr. Whipple as he retires, for he certainly has done remarkably well in face of the general lack of interest shown in the Pierian of late years.

Frequently, indeed, games have been played on Jarvis with teams that were positively distasteful to the college. In other words the teams were such as could justly be termed "muckerish." It was, however, not because of the muckerish affiliations of the players that such teams...
...view of the increasing interest shown in the game this year, the management have decided to try the experiment of bringing to Cambridge teams of repute as players and as gentlemen. It is a costly experiment, however, and gate receipts alone will not pay the travelling expenses of visiting teams as well as of our own. It is only by subscriptions that the management can secure the necessary funds. The desire has been shown to see games with teams of reputation. Friday, the champions of the world for last year play on Jarvis, and it is incumbent on every...
