...present. For two years past the Mott Haven cup has been saved to Harvard at the last moment by the energies of our tug-of-war team. This year's victory is presaged by the result in the Seventh Regiment armory last Saturday. Considering our ascendancy in this respect, it seems that the athletic association might be thoughtful enough to provide two belts at the gymnasium for the use of those who wish to take part in a "tug" when exercising.

We regret only that the proportion of students in attendance from the West is not larger than it is, although of course it is a tribute to the college that the nearer people are to it and the better they know it, the more strongly do they believe in it and trust it.
