...general attention of the college has been directed hitherto more towards other branches of athletics. The lacrosse team has still given very evident signs of life and has shown itself in everyway worthy at a higher recognition by the students. While we possess material and facilities for the successful support of a lacrosse team of the first merit, the opportunities offered the team for practice with the various local clubs about Cambridge, might be used to the most practical advantage. Much of the apathy in athletic team work which is complained of among the students is to be traced directly...
...efforts of one Thomas Lord, who was promised the support of Lord Winchilsea, Col. Lennox, afterward Duke of Richmond, and others, if he would start a ground at Marylebone in secession to the ground in the White Conduit Fields, then probably being built over. Lord was a descendant of a Roman Catholic family of Yorkshire farmers who had suffered in the confiscations of 1745. About 1782 he was a wine merchant and a cricketer of great zeal and some ability. Lord, who appears to have had energy, closed with the offer, and established a ground in what is now Dorset...

...idea of having a public concert in some large hall in Boston, given by the Glee Club and Pierian Sodality for the benefit of the University Boat Club, is one which meets with our heartiest support. If the clubs are able and willing to give such an entertainment and the faculty does not object, the success of the affair cannot be for a moment doubtful. We all know what a hearty reception any entertainment given by Harvard men always receives in Boston, and the proposed concert would be no exception in such a music loving city. It will also give...
...been called a graduate paper; but of late years its editors and contributors have been drawn from undergraduates exclusively. On these the burden of editing such a paper has fallen so heavily, that there has repeatedly been danger of its discontinuance. The editors have asked, not only for financial support, but also for contributions from any member of the University. This year, we understand, the greater part of the prose writing falls upon a single man. As he graduates next spring, there is an absolute necessity that there should be new men ready to continue the work. Unless some offer...
