Last night the dinner given in honor of the team that beat Yale and of the second eleven which proved such an important factor in that defeat, took place. At quarter before 8 o'clock the great dining room of the RevereHouse, decorated with Harvard banners, was filled with three hundred men waiting for the team to come in. The band played Fair Harvard as Neal Rantoul '92 escorted Captain Cumnock to his seat of honor on the right of the president of the dinner, Moses Williams, Jr., '91.

When men are allowed wide freedom with the reserved volumes belonging to the University, it seems only reasonable to expect them to feel, from a sense of honor, some responsibility in the use of said books. Yet such is not the case. It is a frequent occurrence for a valuable book to disappear from the shelves just before important thesis are due in some course. The book sometimes reappears a few days after the theses have been handed...
