ANOTHER society has been added to the long list of Harvard societies: "The Harvard Historical Society." Unlike some others, this society supplies a want felt in the University, and as long as it is not too ambitious in its aims, we offer it our hearty support. The idea of getting such men as Lodge, Von Holst, Adams, and Fiske to lecture on living historical questions deserves much praise, and we hope the students will signify their approval by turning out in full force to the lectures...

Another instructor has even gone to the trouble of sending formal invitation cards to his pupils, with the same result.

Our men, on the other hand, were lighter, and rather weak in their half-backs, the latter fact being especially noticeable in the game. The time set for beginning was 2.30; and, a little...
...party led by Seymour, Hewitt, Trumbull, and Bayard, is more deserving of the support of young men than the party led by Conkling, Cameron, Blaine, and Logan...
