...customary challenge from Yale for a series of games to be played during the coming summer has been received. At a meeting of the Harvard Nine, held subsequent to its reception, it was decided to accept the challenge, in so far as to acknowledge our desire to meet the Yale Nine in a series of games; but the fixing of the days on which each individual game shall take place was left till some future time. The custom of playing a series of games seems almost entirely to have superseded the single game of former years...

...have noticed lately, in some of our exchanges, the project of having a convention of college editors meet at some central point during the summer vacation. One exchange in particular sets forth in glowing colors the benefits, mental and physical, to be derived therefrom, nearly as follows: the pleasure of seeing and knowing personally the editors of so many papers; the relief of the journey to the wearied editorial brain; the lasting friendships we might thus form; the knowledge we might gain of each other; the "dignity" it would give college journalism; and last, the power resulting from unity...

Up to present writing Williams, Amherst, Bowdoin, and Brown have signified their willingness to meet us, while no answers have been received from the others. As to how, when, and where to play these Colleges, should they be challenged, nothing, of course can be decided as yet; but there are two plans talked of, the latter of which is considered by far preferable, if practicable...

...various subjects suggested by life here. Men from all quarters of the country, it is said, come together, and the ideas a man obtains from conversation are worth more to him than all the contents of his text-books. But the truth is, that men in different sets rarely meet to join in any long conversation. A college paper, however, furnishes a place in which communications, from all members of the college, can be printed, and men the most unlike can thus exert an influence on each other far more effective than any likely to result from disjointed remarks, such...
