...supplement issued today, to which each of our subscribers is entitled, we publish in fall the statement which the Athletic committee has been preparing during the last three or four weeks.

While it is perhaps of the greatest intrinsic value of any recent contribution, it seems out of place in a magazine professing to publish "the best literary work that is produced by students of the university." The regular graduate article, written by Mr. Francis C. Lowell, compares "Harvard and the Continental Universities."
