...only congratulate Harvard and the other colleges interested on the latest action of Harvard's faculty. Let us hope too that foot-ball, having successfully passed this crisis, will hereafter be upheld, without interference, for better or for worse by all colleges that have fostered the sport...
...hard to realize the demoralizing effect of such a debt hanging over each new captain, and hampering his every action. Considerably over one third of the money raised by subscriptions goes to pay up the debt transmitted from the previous year, and leaves far too little for the current expenses. For the past two years the debt has not increased, and if the college will make an effort and pay off the existing debt this year, the club will be enabled in future to carry on their affairs on a cash basis, which will lessen the actual expenses, prevent tradesmen...

Then there is the conference committee. The advice of Demosthenes would be a good new year's resolution for this body - "action, action, action." At the risk of referring to a prickly "chestnut," we would ask the faculty to turn with new year's vim to the marking system. Toleration of this evil has been their policy too long. Let 1886 see some improvement in Harvard's back-woods musty method...
