There is one point to which we would like to call the attention of the officers of the H. A. A. It is an unfortunate fact that the spring games and the first freshman game with Yale have both been arranged for next Saturday. It is true that the fault does not lie with the officers of the H. A. A., for the date of the game with Yale has been arranged within the past two weeks; but if these two events come off at the same time, great difficulties occur: first, if the sports take precedence, the freshmen will...
...live here at college, as it were, in a desert; and so we will live as long as co-education is not countenanced by the Harvard authorities. All the tender, gentle sides of our natures are neglected and grow up like reeds in a sandy soil, getting only a mere existence. Deprived for a time of association with the fairer and gentler sex, we grow manly and (in a sense) harsh, and not mild, gentle, forbearing. So, then, whenever we find the monotony of our desert life broken by some pleasant oasis with its shady groves and fair flowers, with...
...paintings, however, took my attention for some time. It was entitled, "Waiting for Breakfast." A little girl stood before a stove watching a woman, presumably her mother, fry buckwheat cakes. The title and the plate of cakes (resting on the front edge of the stove) sent my thoughts like a flash to Memorial with its Friday breakfasts.

The prominent artists represented in the exhibition were William Willard, B. Champney, and Charles Sprague...
...line more of studies than of paintings with any prominent meaning. The visitor was amused at seeing in almost every third or fourth picture an old skull with high cheek bones; and, when the model itself was found in an out-of-the-way corner, it was like coming upon an old friend. The sculpture, of which there were several very good pieces on exhibition, was still not equal in excellency to the painting; but, of course, this is not surprising. The evening's entertainment on the side of art, as well as in every other way, was a great...
...planned by the club so extensive as that at present contemplated. The course of action cannot fail to bring the club into prominence, and it ought to result in greatly raising the standard of play at Harvard. The practice which the club will gain by its games against teams like those put upon the field by the Longwood, Haverford, and University of Pennsylvania cricket clubs must necessarily result in improved play next year, when, with a new crease laid out upon Holmes Field, the cricketers of Harvard hope to make a showing worthy of the university they represent...
