...last number of the Advocate is disappointing, both in quality and quantity. Of the five short stories which fill the greater part of its sixteen pages, not one is particularly original in conception or remarkable in treatment. The most original, so far as there is any distinction to be made, is an unsigned contribution called "The Dream Lady," in which, though the theme is an ancient one, the manner of presenting it goes far to redeem the commonplaceness of the subject. Mr. W. G. Tinckom-Fernandez's "Fleshings and a White Pony" contains the elements of a good story...
Harvard is not in the intercollegiate league this year, on account of the Faculty ruling on the number of outside games permitted. The University team, however, will probably play two games with Yale, besides games with Princeton, Columbia, Williams, Cornell, Andover and Wesleyan, sixteen games being scheduled in all. The team will begin its regular schedule a few days after the Christmas holidays...

Captain Dexter, McCall, and Slater led the list with three safe hits apiece. Slater was too much for his opponents and was never in a tight place...
...Sixteen plates reproducing miniatures in the famous Grimani Breviary of the Library of St. Mark's in Venice, belonging to the College Library, have been placed on exhibition in the show case in the Periodical Room of the Union. The plates are taken from the most precious illuminated manuscripts in existence, consisting of 1580 illuminated pages done by Hans Memling and other Flemish artists in 1480. There are 110 full page miniatures in all and the pages of the text have very elaborate borders...
