Very little has yet been done in the way of athletic sports at Brown. Last year a polo club was formed, which gave much enjoyment; but, owing to a lack of interest, it has not been revived this season.

All this is a very considerable achievement for an organization planned, founded, and managed by college students, and in view of these facts the Society may be pronounced a decided success.

Abundance of material, good management, and hearty support seem already promised, while lack of honest work and desire for success has never been the fault of Harvard teams. And should our game with Yale next fall determine the championship as it did this fall we can have the satisfaction of knowing that the contest will be before thousands of friends who will not fail to appreciate...
