...most dampening to read the meagre and cold-blooded accounts of it in all the papers. I notice that the CRIMSON even reduces the first individual feat in the game, Boyden's run, to this: "Harvard's down; ball passed back to Boyden," etc. Won't you correct this and put in print that Boyden took the ball running from a long punt at the middle of the field and ran past the whole Princeton team with it? Of course every one who saw the game knows that perfectly, but it ought to be made a matter of ancient history...
...absurdity, but they may accept and profit by advice as to how best to develop their powers. Still, to these the monotony of the gymnasium will in the long run become irksome. The tennis player will admit that his right arm exceeds his left, without caring to correct it. He cannot correct it without taking time from his favorite game, and there by injuring his proficiency.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- I think everybody in college will be interested to know that a freshman who has been in Cambridge a whole month now seems to think it the correct thing to gather unto himself a few kindred spirits and hold a delightful musicale at three o'clock in the morning. This happened Sunday night, or rather Monday morning last, in one of Hillton's dormitories. The performers rendered, among other things, "Fifteen Dollars in My Inside Pocket;" selections from the "Corsair" in duets, trios, etc., with piano accompaniment, as well as solos in falsetto-probably in blissful ignorance...
Little is known at Harvard about Trinity College, although it is hardly more than a hundred miles from Cambridge. Few know more than that it is a small Episcopal college, situated in Hartford, Conn. This knowledge is correct as far as it goes, but it does not do justice to Trinity...
