...University Club held an important meeting this week, the result of which will be to make the club an assured success, and one of the college institutions. The building rented by the club on Chapel street is owned by Mr. Bowen, of Brooklyn, N. Y., who graduated here in the class of '81. The idea of forming a club was first agitated in 1881, and it was first merely a place where meals could be obtained, and one or two of the New York papers quietly read in the club's reading-room. In 1882, owing to the influence...

...good physical condition of the Princeton team in their recent game with us was very noticeable.

...engaged should also be willing to come out and give the new-comers the benefit of their experience. The whole college too, is directly interested in the result of this contest and now is the time for them to contribute largely to the chances for Harvard's success. Upper class men can furnish encouragement and advice, but the work must rightly be done by '87, for the greater share of the praise is to be theirs in case they win. A change must come for the better, and the only danger is that it will come too late. The whole...
