...first article, "The Relations of Radcliffe College with Harvard," by Professor Wendell, is most timely. At once vigorous and moderate, the writer certainly carries his point "that unless a strong public sentiment declares itself against the principle of co-education at Harvard, complete co-education will slowly establish itself here," and that we shall lose our "traditional school of manly character." The menace is shown to be real and present. Our only hope, the writer says, lies in the possibility that by proper endowment Radcliffe may continue to grow as "a sweet, sound, every day college for girls...
...hardly one of the writer's best stories. The phrases are now and then a little too robust, sometimes too reminiscent of the interminable Kipling; and though one can understand Martin's rebellion against society, his reconciliation seems rather abrupt, rather arbitrary. Still, the story runs brisk and strong, and is filled with genuine love of windy skies and high seas. "Dolls," though anonymous, is plainly the work of some one with a trained dramatic sense and a gift for clever dialogue. One would like to see the author try his hand at an out-and-out comedy...

...number of changes made in the line-up of the first eleven yesterday had the effect of bracing the play to a large extent. Parker was tried at left halfback, Kendall went to right half, and Warren played with the substitutes. They all played a strong and fast game and made several long runs. The presence of Reid at fullback also steadied the back field to a great extent. Baldwin, a Freshman from Exeter, was tried at quarterback, but as he was not used to the Harvard way of snapping the ball back, he was erratic in his passing...
After a little signal practice, the first eleven lined up against the scrub for a ten minute half. Owing to the strong work of several members of the second eleven, the first eleven was able to score but once, Ellis who took Warren's place making the touchdown. A second ten-minute half was played in which the substitutes took the place of the first eleven. Ellis scored another touchdown...
