...winter with a chess tournament which ought to be a great success. The membership of the club is full and includes a number of excellent chess players. However, as there must be many men in the University not in the club who play strong chess, the tournament is thrown open to all with the hope that the championship of the college will actually be held by the Harvard man that plays the best game.
