...Alwin Schroeder, first 'celloist of the Orchestra. The selections by the Orchestra were given with more than usual accuracy and precision, while the combination of technical skill and feeling which the soloist displayed, made his work exceedingly artistic. Whether one attempts to criticise favorably or to find fault with such a performance he stands on equally unsatisfactory ground, for to criticise favorably is but to imitate and to find fault with, is folly...
...tackle as surely as he can. In the last part of the game, however, he did better work. Wadsworth has improved greatly in his game and tackled and followed the ball well. Jackson in the second half made some good runs but showed his great fault of slowing up when with a burst of the speed of which he is capable he would have got a clear field.

President Elliot considers the changes entirely advisable.

The prescriptions of the course prevent a bright boy from advancing faster than any other. He may of course attain a higher rank but he must stay in the same division with the dull boy. In consequence under this compulsory system the dull boy lowers the age of matriculation of the whole class. These new changes will reward the work of all with...
