...members of the three upper classes made a venture in a field of journalism which had never been entered by college papers. The Harvard Lampoon appeared fortnightly until June, 1880, and gained from the very start a great success, due very much to the drawings of F. S. Atwood, '78 and of Robert Grant, '78. The Lampoon resumed publication in March, 1881, and immediately regained its high position amongst illustrated papers...
...foot ball season "scrub" games took place; and since Thanksgiving scarcely a pleasnt day has passed without witnessing one or two matches. This lively interest in football is a good omen for the game and the advantages arising from such informal matches are obvious.

Seven men of last year's 'varsity team will probably be on next year's team, but the other seven vacant positions-five regular, two substitutes-will have to be filled by men who have never before handled a lacrosse stick. The members of last year's team who have been out this fall are Griffing (captain), Kilvert, Griswold, Rourke, Wells and Thorndike. About twelve freshmen are out practicing, but they will not work as a freshman team until spring, when a captain and a manager will...
...December number of the Magazine of American History is essentially a Christmas edition. Two beautiful engravings of Rembrandt Peale's portraits of George and Martha Washington are the frontis-pieces. They have been contributed by Miss Stokes and have never been published before. "The Inauguration of Washington in 1789" is a paper well-worth reading, especially interesting in connection with the coming celebration of New York city...
