...great pity that the series of chamber concerts now being given in Sever 11 by the Mueller-Campanari String Quartette do not meet with a better support from the college. The concerts, it is true, are not of a popular character, but there certainly should be found a sufficiently large number of lovers and patrons of the best music at Harvard to support such a series as this. Prof. Paine has generously undertaken the financial responsibility for the success of these concerts, and it is no more than fair to ask that the colleges share the expense and relieve...
...Pierian Sodality will be given in Sanders Theatre this evening, and a pleasant time and successful programme will undoubtedly be enjoyed. Every one should attend both as a matter of pleasure and of duty. If the concert is to be a financial success, it is necessary that a readier support be given the two organizations which labor so faithfully for the entertainment of the college, and that a far larger attendance result than is assured thus far by the sale of tickets...
...committee appointed by the Harvard Union to obtain a number of names of subscribers sufficient to insure the success of a reading room this year, we still think that there is a large number of students in college who would be willing to under-take the responsibility for the support and management of such an institution, and a number sufficiently large to insure its success and permanence.

Their plan is simple, economical...

They are put to the expense of hiring Roberts Hall for their rehearsals and other club purposes, and the few concerts which they give are their only means of support. Every one remembers well the very successful concert of last spring, in which the two societies shared the honors. From the programme we judge the coming one will be in no wise inferior, and urge every one to attend. This is but a slight means of repaying them for their open-air concerts in the spring...
Although our foot-ball team did not succeed in capturing the championship this fall, it is certain that they convinced the college of one thing, namely, that whatever support and encouragement their friends have given them was not misplaced. Two or three years ago the interest in foot-ball was very low indeed, and therefore the eleven labored under great disadvantages. Last year, however, by constant and well directed practice, the university team made a very good showing and awakened the interest in foot-ball again. Such was the state of affairs at the beginning of the present season...
