...over our intercollegiate boating prospects, the interest taken in the preparation of the Class Races in May seems to be as great as ever. The rowing room at the gymnasium is constantly occupied from four until half-past five o'clock in the afternoon by the several eights, or rather tens (for there are ten rowing machines,) of the junior, sophomore and freshman crews. There are at present in training for these crews, fifty-three men, all of whom have not rowed before. After Christmas probably thirty men will be added to the number trying for the class crews...
...carried my camera with me to almost all the many places I visited this summer, and took about one hundred and fifty photographs altogether. At Newport I took an instantaneous photograph of a tennis game. I tried to include the server who delivered the ball with great speed by rather a peculiar motion. I set up my tripod in the midst of the usual crowd of admiring spectators, and pointed it with great care so as to include, as I thought, my "subject."

Intentional offside play and unlawful interference with opponents who were not running with the ball, were the rule rather than the exception; and tackling below the hips, tripping, butting, tackling in touch (all of which are prohibited by the rules), were common and deliberate...

It was felt that the work should not be of the same nature as that done in the natural history courses, but should rather be supplementary to it. If the members feel sufficiently interested to follow out the suggestions made, there is every reason to believe that the natural history will become one of the most useful and interesting societies in college...
...satisfactory reasons have as yet been given for this sudden and uncalled for action on their part. It is rumored that several players who took part in the game last Thursday and are expected to do good work for Yale on the freshman eleven, went out of training rather suddenly Thanksgiving evening, and have not as yet recovered from too much "turkey." Unless Yale can give a satisfactory answer to Harvard for her refusal to play on the scheduled date, we think the freshmen can justly claim a most unfair treatment at the hands of their Yale rivals. However this...
