...spring to enable the students to make up their minds fully as to the course of study they wish to pursue during the following year. But now, in the midst of examinations, it will be very difficult for most men to consider the matter carefully, unless the faculty see fit to change the usual date of handing in the lists. Besides, it is a matter of some inconvenience to many men who wish to settle their courses before they leave Cambridge. It is to be hoped that the pamphlet will appear before long, and meanwhile we can only wait...
...book that he extremely interesting, but nothing so much so as the graphic picture that is given of the endless rivalry between the sister institutions-Yale and Harvard. We lose sight of that other field-the intellectual-in which the two universities are brought together in competition, and we see two great bodies of students perpetually preparing for the struggle that is never decided.

When the back nets were put up a year ago a sum was raised by subscription...
...cricket eleven plays the Longwood team on Holmes Field. This is the first cricket match that has been played on the college grounds for several years and an excellent opportunity of seeing how the game is played will be offered to those who know nothing of it and a chance to see a well contested match will be given to those who know the "points." We are very glad that the management of the eleven has been able to arrange a game in Cambridge, and strongly urge every one who can, to see the match. Cricket has struggled bravely...
