...themselves of this opportunity of listening to music of the highest class performed by an orchestra probably second to but one in this country. At one time last year considerable hesitation was felt by the conductor of this enterprise about repeating it again, on account of the apparently small interest taken in these concerts by the college at large. It is to be hoped that this doubt will not arise again this year, but that a sufficiently appreciative interest will be shown by the students in these concerts to attest their success and popularity...

...following criticisms on the Harvard team, from the Yale News, will be of interest: "The Harvard team on the practice field are doing some excellent work. Especially is this noticeable in the passing and running. Passes are made from one side to the other in magnificent style, and their running and dodging are also very fine. The kicking is light, and not very sure, though they are somewhat strengthened by the fine kicking of the full back. The team as a whole seem to be afraid of falling on the ball, and thus often make bad fumbles which...
