...spirit of jealousy, for all the upper classes wish well to the freshmen and look upon their efforts with an interest which almost equals their own. Nor was it a spirit of useless criticism which prompted our editorial but a desire to point out in a clear and forcible manner where their mistakes lay, and to show them that, as a part of the college, it is their duty to do their best if they intend to play foot ball, so that at the end of the season they may come out victors over their New Haven rivals...
...sudden action of the Committee on Athletics, about this time last year, was essentially wrong in method, however necessary it may have seemed in view of the manner in which foot ball was being played.

With two wheel regulated studios at their disposal (the Boston and Cambridge studios of Mr. Notman) there seems to be no good reason to prevent the senior class from obtaining very satisfactory pictures. As soon...
...orchestra with a decided air which seems to indicate that he has the orchestra fully under his control; and this is fully borne out by the performances under his baton. Those who remember the previous concerts which have been given here will notice a marked contrast between his manner of conducting, and Mr. Henschel's; there is a more quiet and decided air about him, and none of that affectation which many found in Mr. Henschel...
