...greatest privileges of Harvard students is the opportunity of attending throughout the winter, an endless course of lectures on various subjects, instructive and entertaining, delivered by men of reputation. Our College Conference meetings, although informal and unpretentious, are, perhaps, after all, the most valuable of all lectures. The subjects discussed are to us students, living questions, and the opinions of men like President Eliot, Professor Norton and the Rev. J. G. Brooks, are likely to impress deeply young men whose minds are still open to conviction. Our dogmas are as yet unformed, and here is an opportunity to mould them...
...publish today the concluding portion of a brief review of Mr. Hurd's book on the athletics and athletes of Yale. There is much in the book that he extremely interesting, but nothing so much so as the graphic picture that is given of the endless rivalry between the sister institutions-Yale and Harvard.

...24th saw the rivals meet again, this time on Jarvis field. After "endless preliminaries" Lowell took the bat, a little after three o'clock, in the presence of an enormous crowd." The Harvard nine, although batting steadily, fielded miserably during the first three innings, the score standing 15 to 9 against them. Lowell is blanked in the fourth, and Harvard tallies one. Lowell piles up four in runs in the fifth, but Harvard makes eight, on heavy hitting; score, 19 to 18 in favor of Lowell. Lowell finds a goose-egg in the sixth, and Harvard scores two runs amid...
