...instructor in elocution, the interest taken in the club was allowed to die out owing to the rarity of the meetings and the club itself became practically a thing of the past. This year a few of the old members of the club, who still retain an interest in its success, tried to revive it, but thus far their efforts have been unavailing. Steps should be taken at once by those of the old members who still feel an interest in the study of dramatic expression and desire a higher course of training than that afforded by the elementary courses...
...second edition of the songs of Harvard is the same as the first, with the exception of the omission of the song "Every Day '11 be Sunday." The printing of the song was under a misapprehension as to its ownership. Although an attempt was made to retain the song by a settlement, the attempt failed through the cupidity of the owners.

We think Yale would be justified in refusing to accept the challenge, still we hope she will consent to play in order to give Princeton satisfaction...
...spring Yale came very near beating us in the number of first prizes. And although we won the cup, many of our valuable men are no longer in college. The team which represented Yale is about intact; while our own must be recruited, else we can scarcely hope to retain the championship in track athletics. No man is sure whether or not he will compete successfully until he has tried. Therefore, it is necessary that a large number of '90 men commence training immediately for their meeting. Added inducement is offered by the fact that freshmen are sure of liberal...
