...wish to call the attention of every member of the freshman class to the lacrosse team which has just been formed, and urge upon them the importance of fall practice. It was to the lack of this that '88 owed its poor success in the field last season. The present freshman class has plenty of good materiel within its ranks, and it should all be brought out. There is nothing discouraging in the fact that so few men are acquainted with the game, for, outside the preparatory schools of Boston and vicinity, few have a chance to see it played...

...tremendous difficulty in getting the necessary permission from one of those demigods - an assistant librarian. When I had gained this point, I proceeded to look about in a dingy, dark, low ceilinged room, for something in the line of a catalogue.
