...Harvard Index for 1887-88 makes its appearance today. In form it is exactly like the Index of last year, but the present volume is much larger. Several new societies and one new publication are chronicled in its pages, viz. the Harvard Banjo Club, Guitar and Mandolm Club, Sparring Association, 'Varsity Club, Zoological Club and the Law Review. The Everett Athenxum and the consolidated Sodality and Glee Club do not appear. The leading feature in the volume, however, is the athletic records, on which the editors and their informants have worked with great zeal and patience, making them fuller...

But no comment is too harsh to represent the ordinary estimate of foot-ball. It is "brutal," it is "ungentlemanly," it is "closely allied to the manners of the prize ring," it is "barbaric...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON :- There are but four or five libraries in this country which contain a larger number of books or have better facilities for getting at them than the one connected with this college. Nevertheless I have heard the same complaint repeated again and again that, though the above be true, the general usefulness of the library is seriously hampered by the fact that all the reading done in the library must be during the day time.
