...Yale is very anxious to row a race with an English crew. There was not a man in our boat last June after our race with Harvard who would not have gladly remained in training if a race could have been secured. Yale will begin official negotiations very shortly with Cambridge relative to arranging a race if it is possible to do so. One or two things, however, may prove rather considerable obstacles. In the first place, any idea of a race between Yale and Cambridge in April, as has been suggested by the newspapers, is out of the question...
...experiment of holding divine service on Thursday afternoons throughout the winter, begun two years ago, has met with the success it deserved. Every Vesper Service held last year was exceptionally well attended, giving proof of the popularity of these meetings. The service is composed largely of singing. The short address delivered is always upon some subject connected with the University, and hence of interest to the students. The first of this year's series of Vesper Services will be given this afternoon in the Chapel. In addition to the regular choir, the members of the Glee Club have offered their...
...second part of Mr. E. Ingress dl's description of his experiences in a trip to the Pacific by way of Canada, is given. He describes and illustrates the notable places of interest in the northwest.

It is on Harvard University and presents all the leading features of our yearly athletic events. The author...
...sophomore would do himself a service by a careful perusal of this homily. "His First Experience" is an unpretentious detective reminiscence supposed to be narrated by an inspector. "How do You Live?" is pregnant with new and sensible observations on the routine of every day life. This piece, though short, is one of the best features in the table of contents. The verse in this number is obviously above the average. "The Rose of Harvard" is melodious and has a charming sentiment. "Questions" is so far above the commonplace that it is more than verse-it may justly be called...
...favored by a light wind. Yale used the V trick but gained only four yards, kicked. Harvard getting the ball forced it up the field by rushes of Newell, Wadsworth and Lee to Yale's five-yard line when it went to Yale on a foul. Yale made a short punt and Wadsworth by a sharp run caught the ball on the twenty-yard line, when it again went to Yale on four downs. Sharp work by Cranston and Curtis forced Yale back and she was again compelled to punt after three downs. Lee got the ball and carried...
