...first number of the Advocate appeared on Saturday. It contains the customary amount of reading-matter, both in prose and verse, all of which appears to be up to the usual good standard, although perhaps somewhat heavy in parts. Of the editorials two are most noticeable, one on "Bloody Monday," and the other on the recent stroke at New London, proposing a change in the manner of conducting the boating affairs of college.

Harvard played with three substitutes and this accounts somewhat for the closeness of the score. Smith, Wiestling, Willard, Richardson and C. C. Frederick did the best batting, and Wiestling, Choate and Merrill fielded finely...

...noble sport, is conduct which is certainly worthy of the highest commendation and admiration, but it must necessarily fail to meet the craving of the college at large for an opportunity to relieve the excited emotions. Therefore, as a method of celebration, it may be safely considered henceforth as somewhat unsatisfactory. By all that marks a Harvard student as a gentleman, we call on the would be incendiaries to desist from such puerile extravagances as the bonfire last built in front of University. If something must be burned, let the burning be, at least, outside of the yard...
