...will probably re-enter the Inter-collegiate Lacrosse Association. The Yale News urges her to do so, and we have been informed that Yale has just formed a team, - at least she has ordered from the ubiquitous Brine a set of sticks and uniforms. We sincerely hope that this rumor is true. The loss of Yale from the association last year was very severely felt, and we should welcome her back this year with open arms. The series with Yale in it will be twice as interesting as it was last year, and will give a needed boom to lacrosse...
...hoped that the rumor that Mr. Penrose and Mr. Storrow will occupy seats in the 'varsity shell next June may be verified. But in the event that the crew of last year may not as a whole, again row on the Thames, the college may feel assured that the 'varsity as at present constituted is perfectly capable of maintaining the record of last year's crew...
...time for rejoicing. There is one community in college, however, which certainly deserves our pity at this period of general mirth and festivity.

It contained editorials on college matters, short sketches, occasional verse, considerable athletic news, and many items such as now appear in the CRIMSON'S "Fact and Rumor" column. The "Advocate," then smaller than at present, laid more pretence to literary excellence than the "Crimson." In addition to the editorials, sketches, etc., it published short stories and essays. It also gave more attention to items than it now does. The "Lampoon" is but little changed. The articles which...
