...those who live far away and to those who live near, and especially to those who are unable to go to their homes, the CRIMSON extends the merriest of holiday greetings.

The transfer of the third game, which has been so often necessary to decide a tie that it may almost be called a fixture, to Boston, and arranging it for the day preceding Commencement, would add interest to that empty interval between Class Day and Commencement. The best feature of the changed dates is that the men on the baseball...
Tickets at $1.50 and $1 each are now on sale in Cambridge at the main store of the Co-operative Society, and with S. Underwood '12, Holworthy 10; and in Boston at the Jordan Hall box-office.
