...final arrangement of these games is very gratifying. It brings about a state of affairs for which, as best for the athletic interests of both colleges, Harvard and Yale graduates have been steadily working. It would seem that the time is now ripe for Harvard and Yale to make certain agreements under which, for a stated period of years, athletic contests between the two colleges should take place; in other words to bring about the consummation of a dual league...
Those instructors who have a general oversight of the Evans Library make direct charges that men are stealing books from the library. The idea may seem hardly credible, yet the fact is that the books are disappearing. Harvard students are given more privileges and advantages in the use of the libraries than any other set of men we know of.

...recent investigation at the boat house reveals the fact that the appliances for life saving there are totally inadequate, At present they seem to consist principally of one very cranky skiff. While, in the past few years, there has been no serious accident at the boat house, the possibility of such an accident is always present. The sad occurence of last week, though it did not take place near the boat house, showed how liable we are to accidents on the river. We hope that this word to the university boat club will be enough. Their attention has probably...
