...understand that Mr. F. L. Dunne, the prominent Boston tailor, who has for years past catered so successfully to the wants of Harvard men, is to send an agent West in the spring for the purpose of advancing his trade interests in that section of the country. Mr. Dunne has always had uniform success with his patrons and has established a reputation among college men which places his firm in the front rank of the merchant tailors who supply the demand made by students of the country for exclusive and novel goods...
Exeter is undoubtedly the largest Harvard preparatory school.

The consideration of this matter will be more fully taken up in the President's report, which is soon...
...appearance 'of the other contestants in the shot and pole vault shows a lack of interest which is very reprehensible, and augurs ill for our success in the struggle for the cup next spring. Any failure of the candidates to improve every opportunity for practice is likely to render futile the efforts of the H. A. A. for success next spring. It is to be hoped that such delinquency may not happen again...
