...Bowdoins on Saturday was pitiable at times. A repitition would be fatal. Upon Saturday the eventful opening of the College League series takes place. We understand that a large delegation of Harvard men are going to New York to see the initial game with Columbia. In times past, lack of support has been complained of, but Harvard will be well represented on Saturday. The Polo Grounds will hear for the first time the Harvard cheer, we hope after as well as during the game...

There can be no doubt that the abolition of compulsory chapel has been the cause of much of the late coming to nine o'clock recitations.

In college, as we have intimated, under the present sentiment, volunteer testimony is out of the question and those usually most competent to testify are interested by reason of friendship for the parties accused and lack of sympathy with the authorities, and usually by reason of participation in the offence themselves. The most flagrant violations of college discipline are committed in secret and where all likely witnesses are sharers in the offence, not interested as abroad in bringing culprits to justice, but in shielding them from...
