...convention in respect to the cup, however, is of closer interest to Harvard men. It was the intention of the giver of the cup that it should go to the college which should win it the greatest number of times. As Harvard has held the cup for seven consecutive years, it is impossible for any other college to win the trophy an equal number of times. The dispute which arose last year about the final disposition of the cup, was settled by the action of the convention last Saturday. But although the cup is virtually ours, still it does...
...crews, are expected later, men who at present are either among the 'Varsity candidates, or, for one reason or another, are not rowing. Of last year's '90 crew, Herrick, the stroke, is now out West, but will be in his old place shortly. Hutchinson, who rowed seven, will also begin right away.

If a student can buy provisions for twenty-five men at a better price than the steward does for over seven hundred, and give better satisfaction over it withal, it shows that there is something vitally wrong at Memorial which should be overhauled at once...
...statistics in the Globe show an increase of forty per cent, at Yale in the last seven years as compared with an increase of twenty-one per cent, at Harvard. During the same period, out of the thirty-one contests between Yale and Harvard in base-ball, foot-ball, rowing and track athletics, Yale has won twenty-one times, Harvard ten. While these facts may show nothing more than a coincidence, it seems to us to be a more reasonable conclusion to draw from these facts that Yale's victories have been one of the things, at least, that have...
