...student seeking amusement after his sumptuous dinner at Memorial Hall, the Rifle Corps, which appears on Holmes Field, in its new uniform, every Monday evening, offers a spectacle at once pleasing and edifying. Some persons, who used to drill in the Boston School Regiment when they were little boys, are inclined to make invidious comparisons, but of course such comparisons are entirely out of place. It has not been decided yet when the Corps will "go into camp," but it is generally understood that Chelsea is the spot selected...
...examinations for honors. Again, it greatly lightens the labors of our hard-worked Crew and Nine to be able to assign a large proportion of their work to the first half-year, as a good part of their time is spent during the spring on the river and the field. The consequences of the new rule are evident. Either the honor men will fail in their examinations, and the crew will neglect their electives, or both will overwork themselves and injure their health.

By all means let the Harvard men keep together on the grounds, and, if possible, persuade the Nine, by their hearty applause, that they are playing on Holmes Field, and not in a strange land. However good intention an audience may have, it is always hard to recognize the fine points in an opponent's game. The men who go to New Haven to-morrow should mass round a crimson flag, and shout themselves hoarse, if necessary...
...otherwise have done so; yet it is a cause of great regret that announcement of its intentions was not made earlier by the Association. This could not well be, however, for the difficulty of getting a track near the college appeared insurmountable. It was useless to talk of Jarvis Field for this season; in fact, we may consider ourselves fortunate if we are allowed to use it at all next autumn. Holmes Field next suggested itself; but the possibility of harming it for base-ball prevented its use. Beacon Park is always open, and the manager has kindly...
