...relative merits of fifteens and elevens. Views and arguments were exchanged, and Yale wrote down our reasons for preferring fifteen men to eleven, and agreed to present them to the College. We absolutely refused to play with less than fifteen, and until the matter has been settled in New Haven, no thoughts of a game will be entertained. The meeting then adjourned. Mr. Terry, of Amherst, was in Springfield to make arrangements for a game. The 9th of November was mentioned as the date, and Boston the place for the game. Amherst will play fifteen men, and four touch-downs...
...know how, we do not wish to judge special cases so harshly. The "Harvard Arion Quartette," of last summer's fame, probably never thought in what a false light they were showing the College, and what injustice they were doing the Glee Club. It was stated in the New York papers, we believe, that the quartette "was composed of the best musical talent at Harvard," - a statement that we should not for a moment question, in spite of the fact that this talent had never (strangely) been recognized here...

We trust that, whether it attempts "real college songs," as it is sometimes urged to do, or gives itself up exclusively to the more chastened delights of the Chickering...
...greatly to be feared that unless immediate steps are taken to revive the interest in the sport it will die an easy death. It has been too often shown that the average undergraduate mind thirsts for novelty, and is attracted for the time by anything new, just as younger children are fascinated by some new toy. Class races and club races having now palled upon his appetite, might not an entire change of diet tempt his palate? And with this end in view would it not be possible to use eight-oared shells for the fall races? We believe that...
