...date and inadequate. Already some inconvenience is felt in the laboratory accommodations and this is bound to increase with every new year. A new and finer laboratory is only a question of time. Now that Harvard has become in reality a university, her needs press upon her harder than ever, but these very needs are pleasing evidences of her substantial material growth...
Perhaps the chief interest of the foot-ball season centres in today's game with Princeton. From all we can learn the Princeton team is very strong, stronger, in fact, than Yale; but this simply means that our eleven will work the harder. We must win-not at any cost, as seems to be the motto of a certain college-but by every effort within our power as honorable men.

The most interesting piece of news from this department is the generous gift of $50,000, by Miss C. W. Bruce, of New York, for a photographic telescope.

It will have an aperture of twenty-four inches. Its focal length will be short, and consequently it will...
...down the runs. Cricket has taken a good start this year, and more interest has been shown in it than in former years. The eleven ought to try to keep up this interest by doing their best at Philadelphia, and if they lose this game, by working all the harder for a victory over Haverford at Cambridge...
