...difficulty seems to have been the result of two distinct causes. In the first place, more season tickets were sold this year than ever before and in fact more than could be properly provided for at the big games. The entire Harvard side must be reserved for these ticket-holders. The other cause was the sending to Dartmouth of so many tickets when no previous provision had been made whereby graduates could see the game. The Corporation has consented to go back on its original decision with regard to wooden stands in the Stadium but only because there seemed...
Harvard defeated the Brown University football team last Saturday by the score of 6 to 2. During the first half the teams seemed fairly well matched, and neither was able to obtain any distinct advantage, but in the second half the University team had no trouble in gaining through the Brown line, and played a much superior game.

...other large American cities. The council elects the important city officers and fixes their salaries; the pay of the mayor and councillors themselves is fixed by law and varies with the population of the city concerned. A civil service commission of three men, elected by the people, and distinct from the other departments of the administration, provides for the filling of all but the most important positions. Its power is not absolute, since the council may discharge for cause any of its appointees. Monthly and yearly publication of all the accounts of the city is another of the useful provision...
