...Editor of the Herald. The dispiriting performances of the Harvard University teams on land and water throughout the last collegiate year makes the present an especial time for an appeal on the part of all interested in her welfare to the authorities of the college for a radical change in athletic policy. The outlook seems particularly hopeless from a general belief that recent failures are not due to a temporary lack of material, but a wrong method on the part of the students in bringing together and selecting the material, and in putting it into proper shape. The students...
...rehearsals may be referred to as a criterion, the college will have a belter glee club this year than for several years past. Among the new songs that are now being practiced are the following by Thayer: "Over the Banister," "Bugle Song," "Courtship."

And the experience of the past, and the gregarious instinct of the ruling family in this world, the family of man, suggests that you make this consecration as a collegium, at the college of John Harvard-that you make it together...
...could not muster as large a delegation to go to New Haven as their rivals brought to Cambridge last Saturday. Besides the duty which devolves upon every member of Ninety-one to support his team to the best of his ability, the game at Yale is one of those land-marks in the history of every freshman class, the retrospect of which is always pleasant. If the nine win, nothing will surpass the joy of those who witnessed the victory and by their presence and encouragement helped keep Yale "off the fence;" if defeat be their fate, the complimentary dinner...
