We regret only that the proportion of students in attendance from the West is not larger than it is, although of course it is a tribute to the college that the nearer people are to it and the better they know it, the more strongly do they believe in it and trust it. The President the other day called our attention to the fact that in the present freshman class there are only three from Chicago, while in the class preceding there were...

And yet, no Harvard man going into law, should enter any school without having first given the school of his own university most careful consideration. It is gratifying, however, to know that...
...kept feeding the ball to the attack and the attack kept shooting. The Independents had more difficulty every minute in keeping the ball away from their posts. At one time there was only one Independent on our side of centre. But their exertions were not sufficient, each try was nearer, and finally Hood passed in to Blodgett who swiped a goal five seconds before time was called...
