Once started the athletic club will undoubtedly be of the greatest benefit to athletics and will, it is hoped, put an end to anything but the best and most generous feelings between itself and all other colleges. At its rooms all the principals in the athletic circle can collect and discuss any disputed point by themselves, and can come to a decision before any feelings of doubt or misgiving get abroad to widen the little breach which rivalry always makes between colleges. At the same time it is hoped that the club will have its effects at home in improving...

...that the hand of Providence has taken from our number one whose earnest life, high endeavor, and steadfast character has gained our sincere respect and esteem. As his classmates, we have recognized his success as a student; as his friends, we have seen those genial qualities which spring from generous impulse and which cement true friendship. We remember, too, at the time, with satisfaction his deep and constant Christian faith and his active Christian influence. At the same time we feel, and desire to express a heartfelt serrow at the loss we have sustained in the early death...
