...fielders, especially Dann; but this trio are several notches behind the first three in batting ability and base-running. Kellogg, '87S, and Osborn, '88S., change catchers, and change fielders, who played last year, are not rated very high. Kellogg has the making of an excellent outfielder, but could never stand the pounding Stagg would give him; Osborn has the making of a good catcher, is fearless, quick motioned, and fully able to hold Stagg. He would be out of his element in the left field, but would make a good first baseman, which position he creditably filled for the grammar...

...Barrett Wendell's article in the last Lippincott's Magazine upon social life at Harvard attracts much favorable comment from the college press. The writer's own stand-point and his college social status can plainly be seen but he nevertheless writes with fairness and impartiality As Mr. Wendell is connected with the Harvard Faculty it would seem that competition for prizes offered by the Lippincott Publishing House is not limited to undergraduates. We hope that a large number of articles will be submitted from Cornell. - Cornell Daily...

...during the past season, it must have been decidedly apparent that the game, as played by the principle college elevens has very little that will entitle it to public favor. The game is still a violent struggle, where beef counts for almost everything. Two lines of seven men each stand opposed, and what do they do, or rather what do they not do? They push, jostle, wrestle, block, kick, pull, tear and fight with each other. Football is still a game in which men undergo the risk of injury, and serious injury. To quote one example, five...

...that the society now has an opportunity to bestow dramatic laurels upon undergraduates as well as upon more advanced students of "the art of dramatic expression." One interested speaks of the opportunity, and a voice from the darkness replies to him with biting scorn. How does the matter now stand? No one knows, nor is it the evident desire of any one to know. One thing however is certain. If the ill-fated club is to be recalled to life it must be upon an essentially new basis. But will such a society bear such a new construction? We question...
