...results of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association's sports are given in another column. Harvard was represented in but one contest, - the one-hundred-yard dash. Even when held at a more convenient time and place, these contests have never been sufficiently attractive to secure a fair representation of Harvard students either as contestants or spectators; and, unless something can be done in future to secure a larger representation from this College, it would be quite as well for us to withdraw entirely from the Association...

However, patriotism in a collegian is so rare a virtue that we will not criticise the form in which it comes...
...Trinity Tablet has just discovered that Herr Joachim has been made Oxford Professor of Music. It is sufficiently absurd to mention this fact of musical and general interest in a column headed "At other Colleges," but to do this two months behind time is certainly adding insult to injury...
