...past two. As soon as the two teams lined up, it was evident that the Glee Club was heavier, and had more semi-professionals, or men who had played before, than the Pierian. Nothing daunted, the Pierian started in to win through superior skill. Unluckily the skill did not seem to show itself at the right time, or even at any time. When play was called, some good rushing by Faulkner carried the ball quite a way down the field, and a long kick took the ball almost to the Pierian goal-posts, and before the Pierians knew what...
This year, as last, the question comes up: "Shall the Yale freshmen be allowed to take part in our freshman race with Columbia or not?" At first it would seem that Harvard should decide this question, on account of her victory last year, - but as this race with Columbia has been an institution for such a long time, it is only fair that the latter college should have something to say about the matter.

We suppose, however, that the elective system is open to just such little surprises as these, for it would seem...
...students rooms, it is no stretch of the imagination to suppose for a moment that some patriotic student has claimed his country's flag as the fair guerdon of a night raid. But we are very loth to think for a moment that such is the case. Indeed, evidences seem to point in much the opposite direction. Not for many years has there been gathered in the city so motley an assemblage as last Monday evening witnessed filling the streets. But that we may not unjustly charge others with that which may be nearer home, we trust for the good...
