...covers the first, we can drop Mr. Bancroft's name from the discussion, and consider the advisability of retaining a paid coach. The general explanation offered by the Committee for their course of action, is as follows. Athletics at Harvard must be freed from all objectionable features. The onward march toward professionalism is to be stopped, and a step backwards taken. In a word, athletics in all departments are to be restored to their pristine purity, safety, and cheapness. The students must dispense entirely with all professional service, and all "professional" spirit in their athletic sports. This decision...

In the evening the column was formed in the upper entry of the main dormitory, and shortly afterwards the line of march was taken up through the principal corridors of the building.

We cross the bridge, and near the scene of many a hard fought battle. '88 forms her lines more clumsily still; she is preparing for a rush. But where is '87? Her men extend in a long...
Neither side is satisfied with the result; a second rush is inevitable, The Sophomores take up their line of march for Old Cambridge, this time keeping in closer ranks. Before Beck Hall is reached they take their stand on the sidewalk, and as the Freshmen come up an attempt is made to dislodge them. At first '88 seems to have the advantage, for she has rushed up against a fence which creaks and groans and finally gives way, sending head over heels several Juniors who had taken a position there to watch the fight. '87 and '88 are thrown into...
