...Harvard faculty about gate-money and fences are well known. Their idea is to cause all expense to be borne by the wealthier students, who can afford to subscribe to the maintenance of athletics. This for sooth brings about a spirit of democracy! Harvard democracy we had better call it. The seventh resolution caps the climax. Our patience has already been sorely tried, but the faculty have carefully kept the heaviest blow for the last.

The last canvass was in 1881, under charge of the board...

Hitherto this arduous and by no means agreeable duty has fallen to the lot of the captains elected by the several classes. He it is who, in a large measure, selects and appoints...
