...work in carrying the ball was good, but on the defense he was deplorably weak. Mills, at fullback, played a good and plucky game, and to a large extent the improvement in offensive work in the second half was due to him. His tackling was strikingly good in comparison with the extremely poor work in this department of most of the other Harvard players. The work of Captain Hurley was without question the best on the Harvard eleven. At times he was practically the whole team, always in the right place at the right time, and was especially reliable...
...following table affords a comparison of the numbers in the University students, teachers and other officers--in 1868-69, the year during which President Eliot's election took effect and the current year, 1903-04. For purposes of comparison the students in the School of Mining and Practical Geology which was in existence in 1868-69 are merged with those in the Lawrence Scientific School, and the meagre number of "Graduate Students" then catalogued are placed opposite "Graduate School," though the latter was not organized until later.

At the admission examinations last June the candidates from academies did a little better than those from other schools, but both sets of schools were less successful in the work of their candidates than the public high schools. Within the college itself, taking the number of men who graduated last year with distinction, we find that of the total 172, 84 came to College from public high schools, 44 from academies...
...demands upon the Hemen way Gymnasium, built many years ago, have grown to such proportions that it seems to me not an unreasonable suggestion that intended benefactors remember that here is a need. Comparison of the quarters of Harvard men with the Gymnasium facilities at the humblest of colleges is anything but favorable...
...squads of candidates for the University track team was largely increased yesterday and there are now 125 men engaged in the regular winter training. A comparison with the number of candidates who had reported at this time last year shows an increase this year of 30 men. The practice yesterday consisted of work with the chest-weights and dumb-bells, practice starts, and four easy laps around the board track on Holmes Field. The straightaway, which will be constructed diagonally across the circular track, will be completed the first of next week...
