EACH successive year takes away some of the members of the Nine. By the graduation of 74 we lose the services of Tyler, Hodges, and Bettens. Such vacancies are expected to be filled partly from the new Freshman Class, partly from the members of the other class Nines. At present there are four men practising for the vacant places, and there are at least three more who will shortly commence gymnasium work. Out of this number it is to be hoped that a first-class Nine will be selected next spring. Owing to the shortness of the fall season...

These...
...after the issue of October 31, is to be merged in Littell's Living Age, its old and more pretentious rival. There seems to be no good reason for the maintenance of two eclectic magazines which cover nearly the same ground, and we have no doubt that whatever we lose in the Every Saturday will be gained in the increased vigor of the conduct of the Living...
