...this afternoon the University eleven will play Amherst, the last one of the easier games on the schedule. Although comparative scores are generally of little value, yet some idea, of the relative strengths of Harvard and Yale may be gathered from the results of the two games. A week ago Yale defeated Amherst by the score of 23 to 0. As the Harvard eleven will go into the game handicapped only by the absence of Reid, Burden, and Eaton, there is no reason why this score should not be considerably exceeded...
...Wheeler '96, president of the Graduate Club, was the last speaker. Ten years ago, he said, the men from outside colleges who were studying in the Graduate School, formed the "Harvard Intercollegiate Club." Soon afterward, the name was changed to "Graduate Club." Its present aim to cultivate social as well as intellectual qualities, should be sufficient inducement, he thought, for all new-comers to join the Club...
...Kendall is now playing rather better at right half than at left, there is little to choose between the three backs--Kendall, Warren and Parker. A bit unsatisfactory, still, is the work of the tackles. Eaton plays too desultorily; and Swain, who was so strong a tackle two years ago on the 'Varsity, has not yet even approached the excellence of which he is capable.

...addition to a full report of the Commencement proceedings, the Phi Beta Kappa oration delivered by C. J. Bonaparte '71 entitled "Our National Dangers, Real and Unreal" is printed complete. "Town and Gown in Old Times" is an account of incidents in student life at Cambridge over fifty years ago, and "From a Graduates' Window" is an unsigned comment on indiscriminate Class Day cheering in which the abolition of the "three long Harvard's is urged. Dr. Darling contributes a summary of an exhaustive report on his investigations of the physiological effects of training on the crew last year...
...year ago today the '97 Yale team came to Cambridge and were defeated. Harvard's team had passed through a season very similar to the one which is just ending. They had experienced about the same number of defeats which have fallen to the lot of the present nine, and began to acquire 'Varsity form at about the same period in their training. The Princeton games were scheduled rather later than this year, and thus the showing was better, but the series with Brown and that with Holy Cross, which came at an earlier date, were lost. The record...
