...overwhelming defeat of Saturday was a great disappointment. The Faithful work of the eleven had led us to expect a victory and the beginning of a new era in Harvard athletics. During the first half and part of the second half our team played a wonderful game and victory seemed almost certain. The superior endurance of the Princeton team then began to count and during the last half hour the game was too one-sided to be interesting. The cause of the defeat was quite evident. Our men had not been trained to play a hard game for an hour...

The report was accepted and it was also voted to begin a systematic study of the natural history of the vicinity by means of field work...
...wish to be always finding fault, but in the matter of senior and junior forensics the dissatisfaction is so widespread that there must be a real grievance. The delay in the issue of the forensic pamphlet and the press of other college work at the time the brief was due compelled many men to postpone the greater part of the work until the briefs were returned. Briefs were returned yesterday and the forensics are due next Wednesday-thus giving only six days for the actual work of writing. This is altogether too short a time for the preparation...
