...vote to hold a class dinner this year, the Class of Ninety-nine has taken the initiative in a movement which it is hoped and believed will be the means of strengthening class spirit and enthusiasm, of which there is now far too little at Harvard. A Sophomore dinner should, like the Junior dinner now annually held, do much to make the members of the class better acquainted with each other as individuals, and with the strength and spirit and ability in various ways of the class as a whole. To be thoroughly successful the dinner should be informal...
...eleven which, though beaten, had done credit to Harvard; at the second to welcome royally a conquering team. At both the good fellowship and enthusiasm were unbounded. The first football dinner did much toward the victory of the next year and, more important even than that, aroused the desired spirit of interest in the University.

It is impossible to see how the true Harvard spirit can be fully awakened so long as one-third the members of each Senior class deliberately sacrifice university ideals and interests by blind acts of club partisanship. And the non-society men are no less to blame; with their two-thirds voting power they have been too long indifferent...
...eleven had its regular practice yesterday afternoon on Soldiers Field. After the usual preliminary work, the first and second elevens lined up for a short game. The men put a good deal of spirit into the work but the playing on both sides was very loose. By dint of hard work the first eleven succeeded in scoring twice. The line-up was as follows: Heard, Bearnsell, l. e.; Barney, l. t.; Boal, l. g.; Kidder, c.; Trainer, r. g.; Talbot, r. t.; Hawkins, r. e.; Hatch, q. b.; Parker, Oglesby, l. h. b.; Warren, r. h. b.; Gray...
