...Thursday last Rev. E. H. Morgan of Jesus College, the treasurer of the boat club, called a meeting of the captains. I was elected president, and at once suggested the advisability of corresponding with Harvard. The statement by Treasurer Morgan showed that our treasury had been badly depleted by the Oxford race expenses, and that it would be very hard work raising the funds necessary to defray the expenses of a trans-Atlantic trip. Therefore, before any propositions were made to Harvard, it was thought proper to ascertain the cost of the trip...
...playing of the nine so far warrants the statement that there is a splendid chance for improvement. Although the playing is bad, yet there seems to be a disposition to eradicate that evil. In time the disposition may conquor. The performance with the Bowdoins on Saturday was pitiable at times. A repitition would be fatal. Upon Saturday the eventful opening of the College League series takes place. We understand that a large delegation of Harvard men are going to New York to see the initial game with Columbia. In times past, lack of support has been complained of, but Harvard...

To the many who say that it has risen, the article shows a few of the complications which have to be considered, as whether prices have not varied and gold remained the same; whether silver has not changed its ratio.

It is true that the statement in Tuesday's issue proves nothing, but it is no less true that Williams is not called upon to do more than deny the charges until something more than assertions are brought against her. The maxim that one is to be presumed innocent until proved guilty applies as well to colleges...
...with Harvard to play Yale, appears in to-day's CRIMSON. This answer, coming as it does from the manager of the 'Varsity eleven, is official and the facts presented throw the management of the Williams eleven into a rather bad light. The communication of to-day refuses the statement made in yesterday's communication, and shows conclusively that a game had been arranged for the 23d of October which was deliberately cast aside. After a careful consideration of both sides of the controversy, it seems as if the charges against Williams can only be too well sustained, and that...
