...short addresses by Rev. Theodore C. Williams, and Rev. Phillips Brooks, relating chiefly to the coming year, and what the religious attitude of the students should be. The service closed with the benediction pronounced by Dr. Gordon. The choir sang, "Come Holy Spirit," by Dowland; "For his salvation is nigh them that fear Him," by Stenidah Bennett; "Come now and let us reason," by Wareing. Solos by Mr. George W. Want...
After losing yesterday's game, Harvard's chances for the championship are well nigh gone. By winning the four remaining games we shall get the first place, but only by a decided improvement can we do this. If we lose again to Princeton on Saturday, we will have no hope whatever.

In the four years which the class has spent here, the regular tug-of-war team has never been beaten. We also congratulate the college at large, for with such a team at Mott Haven our chances for one event are pretty well assured. The class tug-of-war teams that have pulled against '88 must acknowledge that they have had worthy adversaries, and that fact...
