...sorry to learn that the freshman foot-ball team is still heavily in debt, in spite of the fact that the eleven acquitted itself so splendidly in the contest with Yale. One of the first principles that should be inculcated in freshmen classes here is that all debts honorably acquired in providing for the necessities of athletic teams should be paid ungrudgingly, especially when a man has worked so hard and faithfully in bringing victory to a class whose enthusiasm, so intense at first, now seems to be ending in a feeble cloud of smoke. Up to the present time...
...spite of the snow storm last evening, the number of people at the Globe Theatre was not perceptibly smaller than assembled there a week ago. Rev. George A. Gordon conducted the service, and preached a short and interesting sermon. The chapel choir sang three times during the evening-an anthem, "Lift up your Heads," by Hopkins, and the Christmas carols-"His Star Shineth Clear," by O. B. Brown, and "The First Nowell," an old English melody. The chorus of college men was not quite so large as last week, and did not sing with as much spirit as they...

President Eliot and several people from Cambridge were seated in the audience. From seven o'clock till half past the chorus of about one hundred college men sang several hymns while the congregation were being seated. At 7.30 o'clock the regular services began. Prof. Peabody conducted...
...such as our contemporary would have its readers believe. Captain Beecher did not train his team "to fight the referee," nor did any one who heard what he said take it that way. The idea which he did give was that he had trained his team to win in spite of all obstacles, even if the referee were one of them. If the Harvard papers have reached that state where they wish to stake their pleasant relations with Yale upon such a petty matter, we are truly sorry and can but express pity...
