...course too late to do anything to correct it this year. However, it is a most fitting time to suggest that some regulations against it ought to be made before the next season. It has become almost a regular habit at every game for a few thoughtless persons, towards the end, to leave their places and stand nearer the line without paying any attention to the fact that they were obstructing the view of those behind. This had the effect of bringing those who could not see as well into the line and straightway those on the lower tiers...

Now that the publication has passed into the hands of the college, we notice one gratifying improvement, that the advertisements which used to mar the back part...
Committee CHARLES CARROLL,Committee GORDON DEXTER,Committee GEO. HIGGINSON.The N. Y. Times says of the report of Supt. Damrell on the boat-house accident :-"There is no attempt made in this report to fix the responsibility on any person or persons, but simply to state the physical causes which brought about the accident, and to show how such accidents may be avoided in the future. It was at first intended to examine at length into the question of responsibility, but after much deliberation on the part of those interested this was given up. The reasons for this abandonment were, first...
