...under the circumstances, there are many inaccurate statements made in it. It would be difficult to correct these sufficiently without giving another long detailed account of the game; which the editors think hardly worth while, as the subject is now four days old. But to correct the entirely wrong impression the accounts of the Boston papers seem to have given those who did not see the game, it may be well to state that although the Harvard team was outplayed, it gave Princeton a terribly hard struggle; and that under conditions as favorable for Harvard as those Saturday were...
...time for an appeal on the part of all interested in her welfare to the authorities of the college for a radical change in athletic policy. The outlook seems particularly hopeless from a general belief that recent failures are not due to a temporary lack of material, but a wrong method on the part of the students in bringing together and selecting the material, and in putting it into proper shape.

Dr. Fisher discovered in the examples he read of Christ's indignation, a principle that drew a clear distinction between inward anger...
...seven o'clock, and that of the Boat Club at eight. In the past two or three years it has become the fashion for the students to disregard these meetings, or at least to send a very small representation to them. Such a state of affairs is radically wrong. This matter is one that should interest all the graduates, and they should show their interest by attending the meeting. Especially should their support be given at such a crisis as this, when our athletics most need support. The meetings have been called within an hour of each other...
