...chief fault with the team play is listlessness and carelessness. Too many of the men play as if they were out there to amuse themselves, and as if it did not make any difference whether they worked or not. They do not block hard, nor break through with any life, and they are very slow about lining up. None of them seem to have any idea about blocking off the other side when their own half backs make a rush, and when a rusher does get the ball, he generally loses it, either when he is tackled, or by reckless...
...college are not the best of friends. As is known to us all, the two have undertaken to light the yard ever since Harvard was first established. The result of this double contract is that at times, during certain nights of each month, the yard is not lighted. Whose fault is it? The moon is controlled by certain inevitable laws; for example, it has certain nights for setting early, and certain nights also for rising late; and again it is quite unable to shine through heavy clouds. This leads to the conclusion that when the moon does set early...
...second run of the season occurred yesterday afternoon and was unusually successful. The scent lay fair and even, and only once were the hounds seriously at fault, and then through their own short-sightedness. The hares, A. T. Dudley, '87, and Dana, '88, started from the front of Matthews at 4.20, and they were followed after the regulation interval by a pack of thirty hounds with Webster, '87, master, at their head. The track lay first through Prof. Norton's woods and the grounds at Sandy Hill, then into Somerville, up over Winter Hill and through the back yards...

Nothing is more to his taste than a dignified protest against some great and crying evil, or an undignified but lively "kick" against some minor form of grievance. The latest abuse upon which student opinion has felt itself obliged to frown may be classed with the smaller annoyances of college life. It seems that the students who have elected courses requiring their presence at the Agassiz Museum are subjected to great annoyance by the custom of some of the instructors of detaining their sections until the hour has fully expired. By this...
...cited to prove. Another point which the students engaged in the melee should have remembered is, that the faculty may think it unwise to entrust the control of student matters to a conference committee, of whose members many are to be drawn from the two classes chiefly at fault in the recent display of boyish thoughtlessness. We feel sure that the scenes of Thursday night will not be enacted again, yet that they should have been enacted at all cannot fail to be a source of deep concern to those who have at heart the advancement of the cause...
