But we have stuck to the task with a dogged perseverance, and the 15,000 people who saw Harvard defeat Yale at Hampden Park Saturday, must admit that we have now learned the game thoroughly.

If one learns nothing else at college, it is one's duty to be wide-a-wake enough to find out what eminent men are connected with Harvard, and for what such men are noted...
...people who wish to enter or leave the Yard after 5 p. m. must be provided with a Yard ticket or a Memorial ticket. A Yard ticket will admit until 9 p. m. Memorial tickets admit to the College Yard, to Memorial Hall in the afternoon and evening, and to the Gymnasium in the evening...
