...first number of the long expected Harvard Monthly appeared yesterday. With it we feel justified in saying opens a new era in the student literary life of Harvard. Established with the express purpose of affording a medium for "the strongest and soberest undergraduate thought" of the college, it offers to solid literary work an incentive which has ever been wanting in this university. And it is especially fitting that the initial step in this direction should be made by the present senior class, a class which possesses so many men of marked literary ability...
...that the foot-ball season has fairly obtained a start, we venture to suggest that the long established custom of playing scrub games be revived.

To expect the twelve to defeat the visiting team is almost idle, for the Montreal Club has, it is said, the strongest team in America. What we do expect is that the crimson will put into the field a twelve capable of giving a worthy exposition of the game, and able to put the Canadians on their mettle before yielding them a victory...
