...Club, for the discussion of ethics and philanthropy: its meetings have been addressed by Prof. Peabody, Rev. Edward Abbott, Rev. William Lawrence, and other well known men. The spirit of fellowship is rapidly growing stronger and the students are becoming more united in their social and literary work. In point of numbers the Society has been more prosperous than in any former year, having one hundred and three women in its classes last year against ninety the year previous. The special student department is considered a most important part of the institution. Last year eighty-five received certificates at graduation...

Cambridge had the strongest team in the field while the freshmen were obliged to play two substitutes. The only point of the first half was a touchdown for '92 by Wrenn. No goal.

Any attempt at suppression would be a blow at modern trade...
...made by Stickney. No goal. Baker began the second half with a long run for Harvard and scored a touchdown. Goal by Forbes. Score, 10-10. A few minutes later Brooks ran half the length of the field and scored again. Goal. Exeter seemed to weaken at this point while Harvard continued to play steadily. A few minutes before time was called Brooks made the last touchdown by a good rush. Goal. The teams were as follows...
