...strong letter in Friday's News advocating the dual league. In Saturday's issue H. H. Knapp, '82, fays that in his opinion a Dual League which involves an annual contest with Harvard in all branches of athletics in preference, but not to the exclusion of other colleges, would seem preferable...
There is no doubt as to the forge at which the Gondoliers was wrought. Yet the opera is by far the most original of Gilbert and Sullivan's recent works. It would perhaps seem out of place to say that the music is more serious than usual, but at any rate, not so much of it will "go to the whistlers." Last night's performance at the Globe theatre was in every respect a success. Before so immense and on thusiastic an audience the respectable company which Mr. Stetson has brought together could hardly fail to sing well...
...meeting would see their way to clear up the present strain and uncertainly, and at the same time greatly benefit athletics at both colleges, by agreeing to the articles.

...they are influenced by a mean motive; if they back out because they are afraid of some presumably superior athlete, they are influenced by a still meaner motive. They ought not to sign unless they intend to compete, and after signing they ought not to withdraw. It does not seem advisable to us even for men to enter merely "to oblige the association." What the spectators expect is a genuine contest. If enough men cannot be found who will enter for love of the sport and a serious desire to win, the three meetings ought to be reduced...
