...supports of the music loft that any degree of success could be attained. Upon either side of the stage will be a Roman house containing each a door. The back of the stage will be of a neutral shade, though the walls of the houses will extend some distance toward the centre of the background. A draw curtain will be employed. A raised platform in the rear centre will be used as the rostrum, whence Antonius will address the citizens. Caesar's throne will be on the spectators' left, while the senators will be placed upon the right A broad...

But though we cannot lay claim to a point gained in the contest for the freshman championship, we can contemplate with satisfaction the steps already taken toward the acquisition of two other, and more important, championships.

The mere love of the game is not enough to keep men at hard work, but a generous and hearty support will do an incalculable amount toward making them feel that their efforts are at least appreciated. "Croakers" have too long had their way, and the time has now come when our athletic organizations should be encouraged. The nine has labored under untold disadvantages, and the members have attained their present position only by their own untiring...
