Frazer was poor and was working his way through college. Although he did not rank with the highest, yet his work showed great earnestness. His father's ambition, besides having his son go through college, was to collect a library for him, and he had obtained nearly five hundred volumes when fire destroyed them all. Again he set to work, and had collected about five hundred more volumes, when this sad accident occured. The class of '88 of the Boston Latin school have passed resolutions expressing their sorrow at losing so promising a member of their class...
Further you can serve the college by a wise course of elective studies. This freedom is the greatest advance made yet by any American college, and although its utility is doubted by outsiders it is apparent here at Harvard. In our work, moreover, we should strive to have some ideal; seek to cultivate a just independence of thought, and to go beyond what other men have learned. A university amasses human knowledge, stores it up and bids its students push a little farther into study...
Ninety-two played Roxbury Latin forty minutes yesterday afternoon and won the game, 32-0. Roxbury's rush line was much too light for '92 and but for the good work of Sherwin the score would have been larger against them.

There are doubtless some who are spending money which they cannot afford in temporary imigings, and certainly all are hampered both in the enjoyment of their privileges and in their college work. In such a state of affairs surely the college seems bound to take action. Even if all the rooms cannot now be opened we see no valid reason why students should not occupy the rooms which are already finished...
...team Harvard has met this year and the game yesterday was a good test of the strength of our eleven. The score compares favorably with that made by Yale against the same team. Williams discovered the weak points and by attacking those repeatedly gained much ground. The rush line work was very poor and Williams had little difficulty to make holes in it. The tackling of several of the team was high and the passing was slow and uncertain. Harvard's superiority lay chiefly in the excellent work of the packs and ends. The weakness of the rushline was probably...
