The CRIMSON eleven, like its great compeers, the CRIMSON nine and crew, is officially awarded by the action of the Lampoon and Advocate the inter-press championship in foot-ball.

During the few remaining days in which an opportunity will be afforded the students to sign the petition, we hope that every man who has not already signed will...
...student members: "That the business of the conference be the discussion of subjects proposed either by the faculty members or student members; but that, in the order of business, subjects for discussion brought before the committee by the faculty members as a body shall not have a vote."
