...seems to us that such an insinuation as this in another college paper is both unfair and boastful, not at all in the spirit that should pervade intercollegiate athletics and opinions. Our lacrosse team was forced to disband, as we know, from manifest lack of support, with the conviction that the sport of lacrosse could not be maintained here in future. The men worked hard to beat Princeton, but failed, and took the failure in a manly way. No agreement with Princeton has been cancelled, nothing done with which she could find fault. In face of her success...
...Institute of 1770 held its annual dinner last evening at the Parker house. Between sixty and seventy members were present. The occasion brought out a great deal of class spirit and was thoroughly enjoyed by every one. The toasts were numerous and appropriate. A. J. Cumnock, as President, answered to "The Institute;" the Mott Haven team was answered by E. C. Moen, the crew by R. H.

A candid statement of the objections to a new university, which are undoubtedly many and strong, would have much more force, and would not be as liable to be misunderstood...
...being the first speaker. W. E. B. DuBois delivered Grattan's 'Invective against Mr. Flood' in an effective manner. His gesticulation was particularly good. H. E. Burton spoke in an easy dignified manner, which left the impression of considerable reserve power. The next speaker, A. S. Wicks, caught the spirit of Webster's "Against Secession." but his voice lacked the power to give it adequate expression. C. M. Thayer gave an intelligent, but not very forcible rendering of Hoar's "The Ordinances of 1787." W. L. Monro, who followed him, delivered Mrs. Runcie's "Anselmo the Priest." a piece which...
