...matter in which the undergraduates are most particularly interested at present is the football team and the coming game with Lafayette. Very little anxiety is felt, however, that the team will be again defeated, for most of the men are in prime condition, and Captain Minds and Jackson have almost entirely recovered from their injuries and will be able to appear again on the field in Saturday's game. Great interest has been aroused among the students of the Law School at the prospect of a game with the Harvard Law School, and a large number of candidates have responded...

Have the Glee Club present to lead the united College in singing "Fair Harvard." Have personal invitations sent to each individual student and to many of the most prominent Harvard graduates to attend the meeting, for if Harvard is ever to have...
...success. The change must be gradual, and the system must be patiently developed if it is to amount to anything. As a first step we propose that the 1900 club continue its organization this year. If the present Sophomore members of the Union and the Forum will take this matter up, and make their final aim a spring debate with the Freshmen, they will at all events have given the idea a trial. No harm can result, and it may do Harvard debating a great service...
