...team will lose only two men by graduation this spring: C. Almy, Jr., '08 and O. A. Wyman '08; but it will have this year's strong Freshman team to draw from, so that the number of available men will make keen competition. The problem will be to find a centre. At present the alternative possibilities for the position are Browne, whom it may be found necessary to shift from guard to centre, and Wellmann of this year's Freshman team who, with more experience, will prove a valuable man. The two forward positions are well provided for; Allen...
...March number of the Harvard Graduates' Magazine adequate room is given to a record of the Celebration of the Founder last November, and to the Radcliffe Commemoration of Mrs. Agassiz in December.

And there, if it be a lecture or a concert "open to the public," what do we find? The very fact that we are given a choice among attractions makes us independent and we do not make unusual preparations for arriving early. So, when we arrive a reasonable time before the hour announced at the Fogg Lecture Room, the New Lecture Hall, or Emerson Hall, wherever...
...average number of men charged for meals amounted to 963, of whom 918 were regular, 25 guests, and 20 transients, and the figures from March 1 to 10 show an increase of 171 members. The present membership of Memorial Hall is 1084, of whom 949 are regular and 139 transients, in comparison with an average membership of 988 during the first three months...
