...late successes on the foot-ball field, together with the near prospect of a game with Yale, has awakened a lively interest in foot-ball throughout the College. It is well known that Harvard declined to join the Association of Colleges, owing to the radical difference of our rules from those of the various other colleges. Though in so doing we laid ourselves open to criticism, yet an impartial observer must assent on consideration to the expediency of our decision.

The old policy of engaging papers before the subscriptions were paid has been abandoned, and the room was not opened till a sum had been subscribed sufficiently large to insure the payment of this year's bills. We hope that the present committee will be able to continue this business-like beginning. Now that the pictures have been removed, we hope that the College will...
