...Library next fall will be thrown open for the use of students on Sunday afternoons. We wish it might be opened next Sunday, but there is so little time remaining that it is scarcely worth the trouble. This will certainly prove a great convenience, not only to the hard student, but also to the devotee of light literature, not to mention the occasional user of reference-books. It is difficult to see why the Library should be closed at all Sundays, unless for the lack of means to pay for attendants, but this, like several other recent improvements...
...reputation of being first-class teams. Hence the result of the games has been neither unexpected nor discouraging. But though the organization, as a whole, is a success, yet some points may be fairly criticized. For instance, the fielding is at times wretched, a fault which a little hard work would easily remedy.

Lounging about the field and catching an occasional fly is not the way to prepare for a contest with Yale...
...vernal season. With spring comes the dainty crocus, the dandelion, the wilted collar, and the straw hat, and with the straw hat comes the ribbon. But ribbons at Harvard College are as distinctive a mark of honor as the Cross of the Legion of Honor, and about as hard to obtain. Fired by the noble example of the Crew and the Nine, the various other organizations have held meetings and decided on their respective colors. The Echo Board, with their usual enterprise, were the first to assemble; and, amid hearty applause, it was decided that the ribbon should...
