...think the defeat of '88 was due so much to the superiority of the opposing eleven as it was to their own lack of endurance and want of confidence, The fact that eighty-eight forced the game during the first half, but utterly weakened towards the end of the game plainly showed that either the freshmen have not trained at all or that they have not been properly trained. This is a serious fault of course but it is one that can be remedied if every man on the team will only consider that, in justice to his class...
Eighty-eight has not met the expectations of the college. By its defeat in Saturday's game it has gained the unenviable distinction of being the only class now at Cambridge which has been forced to lower its colors to an Exeter eleven. After the victory over Andover, we felt sure that only the most brilliant work would be done by our freshmen team.

Question if the advertisers do not err in sending around their cards at such an unearthly hour as 8 o'clock in the morning. They thereby, it would seem, defeat their own ends. We are met in corners and in doorways, and cards and bills are thrust into our faces. Complimentary tickets are at our plates at meals. Samples from new newspapers to "choice cigarettes" are put into our hands. Scarcely a day passes that we are not in some way reminded of some branch or other, small and great, of Cambridge or Boston business. Our mails are, perhaps, nearly...
