...victory over Haverford. They deserve hearty congratulations, not only for starting the season so ausspiciously, but for breaking the long series of defeats which in past years has clouded the reputation of cricket at Harvard as an intercollegiate sport. Since the cricketers of Haverford proved not invincible, Harvard may look forward to her second championship match with increased confidence, and hope to alter the record of previous years against the University of Pennsylvania. If Harvard should be compelled to withdraw from the intercollegiate cricket league next year, it will be especially satisfactory to leave after the best record since their...
...landscape gardener that while there is yet time he should transplant the young creepers he has set out so profusely against the Law School to the gaunt and bare rear walls of Hastings, which have not been given any, the Physical Laboratory and Thayer Hall, which would look handsomer, the deeper its natural hideousness were hidden from sight. The Law School is one of the few Harvard buildings that can stand scrutiny; and to cover up its walls with vines, especially the fine carved shield on its eastern wing, while the ugly architecture of the university is allowed to stand...
...stated that no such suggestion could again be offered by a Harvard graduate. Our correspondent urges as a reason for conceding to Yale an annual football game in New York, that Yale "has met us, at least half way," by offering to the eligibility of special students.

There can be no yielding on these points. Harvard special students must be in the future, as they always have been, considered eligible...
...rules adopted at the last meeting of the Overseers look like very radical changes, but when examined closely prove to be very much simpler. They are substantially only an enactment of what already existed in fact, though not in form. The chief modification is in the old Academic Council, which consisted of the president, professors and assistant professors of the university, and was empowered to recommend to the President and Fellows candidates for the degrees of Master of Arts, Doctor of Science and Doctor of Philosophy. This council is now called the University Council and its sole function...
...called out an enthusiasm that was delightful to witness. The large and interested crowd that assembled was a marked contrast to the slim attendance which used to discourage class nines in former years. With such a general interest in baseball, as the attendance yesterday indicated, the university nine may look for hearty support, and base ball will take a decided stride in advance. It needs only a continuation of this spirit to give the nine encouragement that will carry it a long way toward victory. The loud and tireless cheering for good plays was the best feature of yesterday...
