...Right or Wrong" is an episode from the Civil War; although the idea is not new the story is related so charmingly that the reader cannot help enjoying it. "The Adventures of an Evening" is a curious bit of fancy; although well told, somehow or other is unsatisfactory, perhaps because the reader does not know what the pretty young woman said in a low tone. "The Death and Spoiling of Tiresias" it is a story from Thebeau history; as a story it recommends itself to the reader, but the style is rather heavy. "The Siege of Xavier de Chateaufort...

And this is exactly what has been needed. More men have taken active interest in the sport this year than at any time perhaps in the history of college athletics, and as a result we have had hard work and good teams...
...glad to be joined in the field of daily college journalism by two such estimable companions. We are pleased, too, to notice that the Ocrnell Era has donned the garb of a Harvard publication. It is a delicate compliment to old Mother Advocate, and may help, when it is known, to still the croaking of some chronic grumbler about the college papers here in Cambridge...
