...best feature of the Christmas Lampoon lies in its illustrations, which are exceptionally good. A picture of the Boston coach arriving in Cambridge on Christmas Day fifty years ago, and the centre page drawing by C. M. Bill '00 are the best of these. The chief fault with the short stories and jokes is that they are based upon affairs which have no direct connection with the College.

The work of Kendall and Fincke was ragged. Again and again they attempted to pick up the ball on fumbles instead of dropping on it. These errors and frequent offsides gave the ball to Dartmouth at critical times, and prevented much scoring by Harvard...
