...regular games to work for, a new spirit would take posession of the men. We do not mean to criticise the work of the team at present, at best it is hard and often unrewarded and the work now is excellent. Something might be added, however. A new element introduced, if the team had victories of its own to win. Occasional games of this sort have been played in former years, but as yet a series of games for the second eleven has never been adopted. Such a scheme may have suggested itself to the management and may have been...
...town are practically limited to three or four. We have two concerts each year in Sanders Theatre and one or more in Brattle Hall and generally a rainy one on Class Day and this is about all. And these concerts where the men have to dress formally and the element of singing for fun is practically absent are not entirely satisfactory.

The dinner had all the spontaneity and informality of American college life and it will remain in the minds of those who attended as one of the landmarks of their university career. Professor Drummond spoke briefly of the high regard...
THERE is a good deal that is wholesome and desirable in the enthusiasm at the class baseball games. Occasionally there creeps in an element that is entirely out of place and to be condemned heartily. We regret, however, to see the tendency to go to the other extreme and ignore all class feeling. Thus far the seniors and juniors have watched the progress of their nines with stolid indifference. Today the tie game between the two classes is to be played, and we hope to see a more lively interest taken. It will certainly be refreshing after the experience...
