...main halls and bath rooms, which are generally filled with overcoats and hats, it seems that more efficient watch might be kept by the authorities to prevent pilfering. Some system of checking, similar to that at the library, might be devised, which would be a very good safe-guard. However, as long as the present system holds, all the students can do is to exercise care, not leaving valuables in their coat pockets or in the lockers and to be sure to keep the latter securely locked...
...athletics are the most free from hazing, rushing, and other customs which were universal before the introduction of athletics. There is a superabundance of energy in the average young man which demands an outlet. The energy which might otherwise be wasted is concentrated on intercollegiate sports, and it is safe to say that far more good than harm is the result. Until some better outlet is suggested, the best thing the colleges can do is not to abolish the system, but to try to eradicate the evils which we know to exist...
Finally, I believe that Ninety-three must take every possible chance to defeat Columbia next June.

We must assume then that the Columbia freshmen will be as skilful in the use of the oar as our men. Haw can Harvard win? There are two respects in which...
...that Harvard college is in a peculiarly healthy position. It is impossible to ascertain exactly what the mortality of the students is in any given year, for when a man falls sick he leaves college, and the authorities may never know whether he recovers or dies. But it is safe to assert from the experience of the physicians practicing in Cambridge that the death rate in college is only about half as high as that of the general community of the same age surrounding it. It is also impossible to collect statistics showing of what diseases college...

The first four men at the bat made safe hits, and Howland and McKean both scored, one of the runs being earned. Dean scored for Harvard in the third inning, on a base on balls, a steal, and two sacrifices. He scored again in the fifth, on another base on bal's, a sacrifice and a wild pitch. Williams got her second run in the fifth inning when two hits a base...
