...they will be changed. Unless something unforeseen occurs the Princeton games will be played on May 2 and 9 at Hartford, and the Yale games at the following dates and places: May 16, New Haven; May 30, Cambridge; June 18, Cambridge; June 23, New Haven; and June 24, at Springfield.

But there is a greater awakening of the Harvard spirit in the land than athletic successes alone will account for. Perhaps the successful working of the elective system is dispelling the doubts which a great part of our alumni felt at first...

His parents are poor and have done everything and sacrificed everything in their power that their eldest son might have a college education.
