EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- Allow me to protest through your columns against the unscrupulousness of some men who have the pretention of giving seminars and private instruction in branches which they know little about. Their principal victims are, of course, freshmen; and one case in particular has come to my notice of a graduate giving seminars in subjects which he was utterly unfit to teach. Now, such a man may think he is a very able fellow to be earning money in such ways, but to any candid mind he is a swindler. I speak of this simply to warn freshmen...
...leading article of the number, "George Washington," by Mrs. Martha J. Lamb, is highly entertaining and instructive, as it treats of that period in Washington's life, of which the public know least, his career as president and his later life.

They were professional players in England, and on settling here they conceived the scheme of instructing twenty-two athletes in the fine points of the game and forming two elevens to play matches. No sooner had they started in to develop the game than they found that there...
...good matches in a week are quite enough for a player. The best ones are all professionals, and get paid by the match. I have got L2 for a match when it was a big one, but L1 is good wages for a game. And do you know, the women think foot-ball is a great thing. If there is a match on Saturday afternoon, they can get their husbands to go, and then they are not spending their week's wages in drink. They can only spend the six-pence it costs to see the game...
