...most interesting of the year, as it will give the students an opportunity to listen to a talk by President Eliot. Such opportunities have been rare of late years, but when they have occurred they have been all the more keenly appreciated.

It is well to play ball...
...There seems to be more good material from which to pick an eleven this year than ever before. When the team has been strengthened by the presence of several more of last year's players who are still candidates, it may be depended upon to make a strong, and possibly a winning, fight against Haverford and Pennsylvania...
