...more to Cambridge and prepare to train for the mid-years. This is a time for making good resolutions, and the college could not do better than resolve to inscribe a complete set of athletic victories on the blank scroll of the new year, 1888. Our record for the past two years has been anything but enviable, and it is for the men who are now here to see to it that our college resumes the lofty position she held in '85, and once more reigns supreme in athletics.

These facts attest that the prosperity which has marked Harvard's career in the past is not yet on the wane, and that we may look forward to the time when our classes will equal in numbers those of the large English universities. The number of scholarships has been largely increased by recent bequests, and we can assert with greater truth than ever that...
