...accordance with a well established precedent a freshman glee club will be organized this year. With a class of the size of Ninety-three we may certainly expect a creditable club. Its success, however, as well as that of every other college organization, depends ultimately upon the students. If the club is to be representative the men themselves must make a personal effort to have it such; and certainly incentives to this end are not wanting. The freshman clubs of previous years have all been very enjoyable organizations, and each year an increased number of concerts have been given...
Though perhaps a little late we wish to congratulate our contemporaries, The Yale News and The Cornell Sun upon the improvements of the year-both, that they are now published six days in the week, and the latter that it has increased its size and bettered its appearance. The example of the CRIMSON seems to have been a salutary one and we are glad to be joined in the field of daily college journalism by two such estimable companions.

He said that the income to our national treasury from the fur industry alone had more than paid the price of purchase from Russia. Besides the seals and fur-bearing animals, there are vast quantities of fish...
...pleasanter for Andover men entering Harvard; to this end monthly meetings will be held throughout the year, and the Harvard-Andover dinner which was held for the first time last October will be made an annual event. It will also be the object of the club to increase the size of the Andover delegation coming to Harvard by endeavoring to promote a better understanding between the preparatory school and the University...
