Yesterday afternoon at four-fifteen precisely, the library was closed, and the students were precluded from enjoying its privileges during a third of the working hours of the day except in so far as they had been able to avail themselves of the reserve book system. This closing of the library at such early hours will of course continue until the days are considerably lengthened, and even then, as now, the building will be shut during the entire evening. Even a moment's reflection will be enough to convince any fair-minded man of the injustice of such a state...

The ball was brought to the twenty-five yard line and McDonald made a good rush. On the third down Wesleyan was given five yards for Harvard's off side play...
...again and advanced twenty yards. This brought the play within a few feet of Wesleyan's goal but Harvard could make no holes in the opposing line and four downs gave the play to Wesleyan. Macdonald ran out from behind the goal around Crosby's end and made fifteen yards. Hall kicked, and White secured the ball. On the second down without gain, Trafford kicked a pretty goal from the field from the thirty yard line. Time 28 minutes. Score 55-2. With the ball in the middle of the field Slayback and McDonald made ineffectual attempts to rush...
