...successful. The greatest danger to which the Harvard society is exposed is internal dissension. Students are too apt to follow blindly the lead of a few men. It was this tendency which came so near ruining Memorial Hall last spring, and it was the same influence that suddenly put the hall on a firm footing again. The fiscal year of the society ends on the third Wednesday of February, and on that day the annual dues of members are payable.

Since entering college the '83 nine has won fifteen victories and suffered, two defeats. Capt. Cushman of the university nine is practising his men but little now, expecting to put them in training in the gymnasium soon. Four of the university nine of last season were members of the class of '82-Mathewson, Parker, Partridge and Webster.
