...season. That such advice has been given just at this time (without considering for the moment whether it should be followed out next year) is likely to prove most hurtful to the success of the two matches for which our team is pledged this spring. The difficulty of obtaining money-subscriptions in aid of athletics this year is understood by all; and if the lukewarm supporter of the foot-ball interest has any additional excuse for not subscribing, other than the common plea of hard times, the chances are that he will close both his ears and pocket...
...various clubs and societies which at present flourish at Harvard require for their support an amount of money which, in the aggregate, reaches a very considerable sum. Several of the societies have so large expenses that the proper management of their funds requires a considerable degree of financial experience.

The matter was allowed to rest for some time, and finally Linklater showed a disposition to break his agreement, on the ground that he was a minor at the time he made it.

...Harvard with old college-men is fostered by the maintenance of the gala-days of their Alma Mater, Class Day and Commencement. The Yard is always cleaned for Class Day, - perhaps the Class will appreciate its appearance the more if they know it is put in order with their money, - the buildings are refurbished, the entries "swept and garnished," the windows look abnormally transparent; these wonderful results are paid for from the Class-Day expenses of the Senior class. The Chapel is dressed, the Liberty Tree has its flowery girdle, the Yard is enclosed, and the Class pays the bills...
