...game at New Haven. Their men have shown that they are heavy batters, and their fielding on familiar grounds will probably be as strong as Harvard's. A marked advance, then, must be made if Ninety-three has any hope of the next game. There is really no reason why the game should not be won by Harvard if the improvement in batting is made. Our team is made up largely of experienced players, and if they do as well as they are capable of doing, Yale should be defeated...
...president of the H. A. A, which shows the attitude of a number of the New York alumni. We had thought that Harvard's position had been so clearly and firmly stated that no such suggestion could again be offered by a Harvard graduate. Our correspondent urges as a reason for conceding to Yale an annual football game in New York, that Yale "has met us, at least half way," by offering to the eligibility of special students.

There is absolutely no reason why specials should not have a voice in the management of the Dining Association, with which they are connected as intimately as the regular students. But, at the same time, we object to the classing of specials among ordinary students at Memorial any more than in the catalogue. They...
