EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Every spring the freshman nine is a subject of much discussion in the college papers. Last year, it was proposed to drop the annual series with Yale. As unpleasant as it would be for us to acknowledge, by such an action, that it is impossible for Harvard freshmen to defeat the Yale freshmen, the feeling is getting stronger each year that this will have to be done if some change is not made in the general management. Many of the points in which Yale has the advantage over our freshmen were mentioned by your correspondent...
...News attempts to extenuate the recent disgraceful action of the thirteen seniors at Trinity, in upholding the slighted honor of the "Grand Tribunal."

The book proposed is certainly something that is desirable, and even needed, and we trust that enough interest will henceforth be shown to enable the directors to at least plan the work that must...
...action of Mr. Gunn in refusing to accept the appointment as valedictorian, has been followed by others of those receiving appointments, and their action is sustained by the whole college. The marking system is unanimously denounced, and it is hoped that the present movement may result in a change, especially as many of the faculty are known to be hostile to the whole system. Their action is a waited with much interest...
