...result of the game Saturday convinced the college that the nine is well able to play ball. Bates deserves the greatest credit for the manner in which he filled his trying position and the support given the battery by the other members of the nine was often brilliant. The errors that were made seemed due to over-eagerness rather than to inability to field the ball. During the two weeks to come before the next game with Yale, the nine will have opportunity to meet a number of strong teams. With this additional practice we have great confidence that...
...with pleasure we announce that in a few days a report showing the result of the investigations made by the Committee of the Faculty on Athletics, is to be published and distributed. The report is certain to contain valuable information on a subject that has never been carefully and fully investigated before-the real position of athletics in college life.

The next and final step is the adoption of the Harvard colors by every Harvard man; and none who are desirous to use this privilege should refrain...
...enter college and pass from day to day with very meagre ideas of that which is doing in the world about them. Congressional reforms have little interest for them, and present European politics are too complicated and need too patient study to be carefully followed. This is simply the result of one's finding himself set down in the whirl of events without an understanding of their causes; and to counteract this result a course in the topics of the day is needed. The field of the course would, to be sure, be changeable, but in general it should cover...
...hang out a sign warning all but Harvard students to keep off Holmes field; let them take active measures. A regularly employed watchman to patrol the yard and the athletic grounds would cost very little during the spring and autumn months in comparison with the benefit which would result to the college. If the college authorities will not keep the college property free from such pests, then the students must take the matter in hand. It is a burning shame that students of such a college as this should be subjected to such treatment. At Yale there is a college...
