Of course it is a delicate matter to urge men to lay aside their own preferences; nothing but the pressing need of the college, if it is to be represented by a strong eleven, could justify such a step. The bald facts are simply these: several of the best candidates for the eleven are laid up with serious injuries, and Captain Trafford must have more men to fill their places as well as to strengthen the weak points of the team.

Deputations have conducted services in the City Hospital in Boston, and in response to invitations from neighboring cities and towns. Perhaps the most important step which has been taken this year, and which will bring forth the most fruit, was the distribution throughout the country, of 15,0000 copies of "Harvard's Better Self."
