...present fair weather offers especial inducements for scrub games of foot-ball. The active formation of many elevens is already going on.

This not only would tend...
...eleven. It was voted to elect a committee to take charge of the election of class day officers, in accordance with the usual custom, i. e. the president, ex-officio, and one member each from the Hasty Pudding, Pi Eta and Signet, and one representative of the non-society men. Messrs. Vogel, C. M. Thompson, Merriam and Rogers, were selected to serve with the president, Mr. Barnes, on this committee. Messrs. Harrison, W. L.
