...first of the series of readings and lectures to be given by the Cantabrigia Club for the benefit of the Radcliffe Scholarship fund was held last night in Sanders Theatre. The audience though large showed an almost ludicrous want of humor, preferring to read sentiment and pathos into Mr. Hawkins's selections, rather than to laugh at the delicate and delightful wit which makes them so charming. Even two selections from the "Dolly Dialogues" did not quicken the audience entirely. This was the more strange considering that Mr. Hawkins read well and that all but one of his selections were...
...eleven defeated Newton A. A. yesterday afternoon by a score of 24 to 0, in a well played and interesting game. As a whole the 'Varsity showed a decided improvement over their recent form, and though two of the four touchdowns were more or less flukes, Newton forced the play but once, and then only to Harvard's 20-yard line where they were held for downs...
...have been requested to call attention to a fact in connection with Morning Prayers at Chapel, which though a small matter in itself, is of importance because it affects the impression made upon visiting preachers.

The notices on the side doors reserving seats for members of the Faculty, etc., of course apply only to Sunday evening services. There is therefore no necessity...
...part of the time devoted to practice yesterday was spent in tackling the dummy. The 'Varsity then lined up with the second eleven for ten minutes. The playing was loose, though fast, the most noticeable fact being a decided falling off in form, on the part of the second. Brown played his poorest game of the season. At full-back, he muffed punts continually, once allowing the 'Varsity to regain the ball on two successive kicks, which brought it from the centre of the field to the 5-yard line. It was virtually through their kicking and Brown's poor...
...project. Nearly twelve hundred signed the blue-books at once. There was some thoughtful opinion against the plan, based chiefly on the question of practicability, but without ignoring the very small minority, the committee of graduates who had the matter in hand were able to make a strong though thoroughly conservative report in favor of the University Club. The meeting to which the committee made its report empowered Mr. C. F. Adams to appoint another committee which should be authorized to take over the entire project and to act on it as it should see fit. It was manifestly inadvisable...
