The work forms a valuable guide to the societies and athletics of our college and should be in the hands of every student. We cannot but regret however, that a book which contains so much useful information must necessarily appear so late in the year...

They regret that they did not give earlier attention to the character of these rules, and thus earlier come to the conclusion which they have now reached, namely, that the Harvard eleven cannot be allowed to take part in any further inter-collegiate match games until substantial changes in the rules have been...
