...substitution of a series of informal, detailed questions and explanations in the place of two or three hurriedly prepared written examinations. We think that the instructor has had only the benefit of the men in view in adopting his method, and also that he deserves and undoubtedly has the support of a large majority of the men who comprise his section...
...eleven, we ought not to be again satisfied until the championship is secured. Prophecies may seem out of place at present, yet from what we may reasonably expect for next season it seems that our prospects are brighter than ever. Abundance of material, good management, and hearty support seem already promised, while lack of honest work and desire for success has never been the fault of Harvard teams.

There is little doubt that the required number of names will be secured, but that is not enough. There should be at least three hundred men who will use the reading room. With this number an institution can be established that will be worthy of the college and fit to be compared with those at Yale and other colleges. Energetic management and liberal support will...
