...seats are already on sale, and although the benches are not yet erected, the boards and timbers are cut. It is now too late to change the plans to any extent-that is to the extent of building all the seats on one side as should have been done at first but I see no reason why a part of the benches cannot be placed at the end of the field instead of on the side. Mr. Burnham who has the contract for building the seats assures me that this can readily be done, and I find that it would...
...possibility of this danger that the present action has been taken; and to it we must look for whatever improvement is to come. It is to be regretted that the committee could not have gone even farther, and confined athletics simply to undergraduates, but this obviously could not be done, for it would be impossible to impugns the motives of graduates returning to college.

Regardless of all this stress of work the members of English...
...that the class championship in football has been decided it seems fitting to broach the subject of awarding cups to the victorious teams. The work done by the members of all the class teams is certainly creditable and deserves some sort of recognition from the football association. If the winners of the fall scratch races receive cups for nothing save victory in one afternoon's sport it seems eminently more appropriate that men who have trained hard for a month should be rewarded for their work. The giving of cups also will, we believe, help along the end for which...
