...leading article W. L. Stoddard deals with the present burning--shall we say sizzling?--question in academic and literary circles, the recent discovery by William Stone Booth of acrostic signatures of Francis Bacon systematically embodied in the poems the sonnets and all of the plays usually attributed to William Shakespeare, and elsewhere. He foresees that the acceptance of Mr. Booth's discoveries by, the mathematician and historian will lead to the rewriting of the history of English literature of the period shortly before and after 1600, and to the destruction of the modern Shakespeare myth.

Professor Kuehnemann began by expressing his pleasure at being able to see a new epoch open in the history of Harvard, and at carrying away a pleasant impression of President Lowell.

Lack of interest among the undergraduates and the players, the character of the game itself, the poor facilities at the Hemenway Gymnasium, and the continued unsuccess of the University teams were the leading reasons. The last will undoubtedly be considered...
...cheers are an excellent means of encouraging the men when they go to bat; but the pumped cheering and confused hub-bib during an exciting moment are decidedly out of place in an amateur intercollegiate contest. Not only is such applause unfair to the visitors. It is a great question whether it does not tend to confuse and excite the University players...
