...University players have improved greatly since the Christmas fecess and have shown a tendency toward team-work that promises a first-class combination before the season ends. The play in the Princeton game gave evidence of an ability to scrap and, especially toward the close, an exhibition of team-work that showed the results of hard practice. The line-up tonight will probably be the same as against Princeton, with Goodale at coverpoint and Clark at right...
...competition for drawing and writing candidates is open to all undergraduates until the middle of their Junior year. In order to be eligible for election a writing candidate must have filled two pages of the "scrap-book" and drawing candidates must have filled three. A scrap-book page is equivalent in size to about two Lampoon pages. Each article, or drawing, is pasted in the scrap-book as it appears in the Lampoon. This system, however, should not lead one to suppose that quantity, rather than quality, is the criterion...
...years with the ardor and resourcefulness of a sportsman on the track of his favorite game. It contains the full series of the first thirteen editions of "The Temple" printed from 1633 to 1709, all the later editions of any merit or significance, and every book in which any scrap of Herbert's writing in prose or verse appeared for the first time in print...

The table of contents is long, and the subjects varied, from the account of an astronomical expedition to South Africa to a description of the new Lampoon Building. Most of these articles are very brief; and the reader is likely to feel that a couple of more extended discussions of interesting subjects might well have replaced half a dozen or so of these smaller sketches. A few of these, however, are excellent, notably the article on the late William Everett...
...were it not for President Eliot's article, the present number would suffer from its "scrap-book" nature. It is, of course, important that many of these short sketches should be preserved in the Graduates' Magazine; but it is unfortunate that a number should be composed almost wholly of such things at a time when the rapid change of conditions has brought up a quantity of important questions which demand serious and extended discussion. Perhaps it is enough to say that most of the articles in the present number would not have been at all out of place...
