Although we are not in a position to know all the reasons which influenced the Advisory Committee, the probable causes seem clear enough at a glance. The simple fact was that the dates as arranged came far too early in the season. At that time Harvard's season is only just begun; and important contests with Princeton could not be a correct test of the final strength of the two nines. Although games with Princeton would in all likelihood strengthen our nine, we have to be careful, in arranging them, that Harvard play under fairly favorable circumstances. The dates...
...well equipped or so generally used as at Harvard. The statistics at Yale show that the percent of students using the library is much below that of Harvard; and that of the books which are used, by far the greatest portion are works of fiction. Such facts would seem to indicate that the method of conducting the courses at Harvard is largely to account for the increased use of general literature. This method is to unite, with regular text-books, a large amount of outside reading. At the other colleges this plan is by no means so extensively used...
...Fearing is a probable winner and will make an effort to beat his record of two weeks ago; Morse and Green will make a close fight for second. First prize in the standing high jump will be won by Irwin or Bean, in all probability, and the athletic oracle seems to favor Finlay or Long in the shot contest. In the one mile walk odds are being given on Hale, although Bardeen, Endicott and Brackett seem to be favorites with many. Those who are in a position to know seem to look on Collamore, A. White, J.

...There seems little doubt that the New London Board of Trade will accept the agreement offered by the Yale and Harvard Boat Clubs. These organizations are in a position to dictate their own terms; and they have used their power to bring to the colleges some of the benefits by which, in past years, the New London people have so exclusively profited. The annual Harvard-Yale race has been a source of revenue to everybody except the colleges, which have always been the losers. It is only just that now the colleges should be freed from a part...
...reforms which President Seth Low is instituting at Columbia seem to mean practically the establishment of a three year course there. By these reforms he has extended the privilege of the senior in the choice of his studies. Formerly a senior was compelled to choose all of his work from the department in which he was registered, just as he does here at Harvard; now he can choose his work in any department of the University. Thus if a senior in the School of Arts intends to study law he can save an entire year by devoting his senior year...
