...communication regarding the method of work in History 13, which appears this morning seems to give a fair statement of the case. The writer with justice shows that the accusation of laziness, which a correspondent made in Tuesdays paper against those who desire a systematic course of reading in the course, is certainly uncalled for. Every one who has taken the same knows that there is a vast amount of reading to be done, and that the reference books are few and far between, compared with the large number of men who take the course. If it is often impossible...
...upon the instructor but there would be a great saving of labor, and a more concise and philosophical knowledge of history among Harvard men, if the very much desired system of History 13 could become universal in our history courses.

We think we voice the sentiment of the college, when we say that a few earnest words addressed to the students every morning not only renders the service more attractive, but must have a powerful influence over the students. It is a fact that the ordinary chapel service repeated morning after morning does tend...
Foot-ball stock can be said to be neither buoyant nor depressed. A feeling of uncertainty exists quite unusual, and, for the most part, inexplicable. The method of estimating the relative merits of elevens by the comparative scores, has this year been unreliable from the fact that Yale in her inter-collegiate contests has played with teams materially weakened, and represented by a large number of substitutes. Besides, the fickleness of her play, as observed by able foot-ball critics, has been her distinguishing characteristic. In the game with Pennsylvania, Saturday, the score of which...
