...college course cannot be gained without his patronizing these organizations to a greater or less degree. It is very fitting, and not at all surprising, that the Union should undertake the establishing of a reading-room, and it would seem as if, on account of its feeling the need more strongly and realizing the benefit more perfectly, the Union ought to succeed in its undertaking. We sincerely hope that the list of names on the book at the Co-operative Society's office will be greatly lengthened by Thursday; and in urging the students of Harvard to give their support...

How familiar to us have grown such phrases as "freshmen rattled," "wretched game," "decided brace," etc. It is the custom for freshman teams to feel defeat. They need it. But to draw too hopeless a conclusion from defeat is not the means to accomplish a necessary end. It would be strange, indeed, if eighty-nine did not possess sufficient and suitable material to form a good eleven. There are good men in the class, and they need only...
