...defeat which the Lacrosse team received from the South Boston team yesterday afternoon should be a warning against the danger of over confidence, a danger to which the lacrosse men are particular liable, owing to their long continued success. Some time yet remains before the first college game, and yesterday's lesson should be profited by, if the champion ship is to remain here another year. The season has been against our team, and the disadvantage can only be overcome by harder or rather more careful work, for nobody can accuse the lacrosse men of not working hard...
...mile bicycle race. Haseltine, '88, Merrill, '90, and Slade, '90, are riding, and may make good men. Dana, L. S., and Gibson, '88, are putting the shot and throwing the hammer. Both are doing good work. Hunter, '89, is also putting the shot with fair success. Treat, L. S., Brewer, '88, C. N. Cogswell, '88. Thayer, '88, Atkinson, '89, Perry, '90, are all candidates for the broad jump. Clark, '87, is the only man in the running high jump. Craig, '87, and Leavitt, '89, are practicing for the pole vault. Leavitt vaulted 10 feet 5-8 inch at the last...

Both for its own sake, therefore, and more especially the University, the freshmen should decide to accept this challenge. The only question to be decided is in regard to the expense, which...
...Princetonian Board took charge of the paper with the issue of April 22, the first number of volume twelve. The paper will appear with a new heading before long. The New England Association held its annual banquet at the close of last term, and this banquet was a greater success than its predecessors. Dr. Bancroft was drawn from Andover, Prof. Tufts from Exeter and Prof. Gallager from Gildiston, and Dr. McCosh and others represented the faculty. The association is doing a good work, and seems likely to accomplish at least one of its objects, - the existence of a better...
...much to be regretted. Those who were in college two years ago can never forget the unparalleled record which was made by our nine then, and moreover, they can never think of that season without remembering how great was Mr. Nichols' share in bringing about its measure of success. The combination of accidents which made his work less effective a year ago has done nothing to lessen the popular confidence which he so justly possesses. We would assure Mr. Nichols that if his decision was reconsidered, his reappearance upon the ball field a representative of his Alma Mater would...
