Heretofore there has never been reason to doubt the efficiency of these representatives of Harvard musical taste and skill, and to them, now, the future can only offer opportunities for greater triumphs. In recognition of their labors, it is hoped that not only a good audience but a crowded house will greet them in Sander's Theatre next Wednesday evening. What better way can there be to support a college institution, than by contributing to that which will return four-fold in pleasure. Let every man then show, by his presence at Sander's, that he appreciates the musical skill...

The character of some courses absolutely demands frequent and exacting tests, which in other courses would be unnecessary, if not ridiculous...
...from Watkinson, Lamar, who was close behind him and near Princeton's 40-yard line, sprang into the air, caught the ball and darted straight at the Yale rush line. The Yale players seemed completely stupefied, and though making feeble attempts to stop him, were too closely bunched to offer an effectual barrier, and with the entire Yale team at his back, Lamar run between the Yale goal posts and made a touch-down...
