...Forum and the Union was held last evening in Sever 11. The question discussed was: "Resolved, That the United States should annex the Hawaiian Islands." The Union supported the affirmative and the Forum the negative. After a deliberation of thirty minutes the judges came to the conclusion that neither side had presented its arguments with a proper consideration of the essential points of the question, and therefore they withheld their decision...
...chief weakness of the affirmative was a tendency to make unsupported statements, while the negative failed to take advantage of one of the strongest arguments on their side, namely, that of policy.

Each side wasted valuable time in the refutation of unimportant arguments instead of taking up every possible argument on its own side...

A high plank wall has nearly been finished on the west side of the yard and another is to be erected on the east side...

...first half the second eleven took the side with the wind, and with long runs by Bull, and plunges through tackle, brought the ball twice to Andover's five-yard line, where A. R. Sargent was pushed over the line for two touchdowns. Brown kicked both goals, one of them being very difficult. In the second half, Bull made a long run from the middle of the field to the ten-yard line from which Wadsworth carried the ball over for a touchdown. Brown kicked his third goal. Burdick broke through the line onto a clear field but was tackled...
