...Hereafter, neither party shall play on a freshman team, (a) any member of a professional school, no matter what his time of residence at the university; (b) any dropped man although regularly enrolled as a member of the freshman class; (c) nor any first-year man catalogued as an upperclassman; (d) no man who has previously played on a freshman team; (e) nor any one enrolled and catalogued in any other manner except as a regular academic freshman: except...
...Pierian Sodality holds its first meeting to-morrow for the examination of candidates for the coming year. Every upperclassman recalls how prosperous the society was in every regard last year.

This year the story of Harvard's victories is one that will serve to awaken again the enthusiasm of the upperclassman, and, it may be, will stir the blood of the incoming freshman, though in the events chronicled he had no part. Certain it is that the successes of last year will form an oft read chapter in the athletic history of Harvard, and that the names of STORROW, WINSLOW, ATKINSON...
