...year has been a very successful one with the Co-operative society. The society has grown to fill a large place in the University and it could not well be spared. That the society is steadily increasing in its power to satisfy the wants of the students is readily seen by the great advance in the amount of business transacted during the past year. Every increase makes farther advancement possible. We hope that next fall will see the society starting off with a much longer list of members. Aside from the pecuniary returns which will undoubtedly come to members...

Marquand used both arms very well, and showed himself to be an exceedingly clever and plucky sparrer. The bout was one of the prettiest in feather-weight sparring that has been seen in the gymnasium in a long time.

A. is certainly to be congratulated on its energy in getting so many entries for the events...
...showing our faces within the chapel doors, we prove that we are on the side of good order; that we are filled with earnestness and de termination in our daily life. There can be no better criterion of the spirit animating the men of Harvard than the numbers seen at morning prayers. If indifference is to rule, then the present system must fail; if earnestness and determination are to be the future characteristics of the Harvard spirit in athletics and in every other field, we must soon see a marked increase in the interest of the students in the chapel...
