...been displayed since the Harvard game. The nine is entitled to a great deal of credit for their work at Harvard, but they must understand that their recent victory does not end their work. They have defeated Harvard once and won the "fence," and several of the men seem to think that that is sufficient. The men must realize that, after having won a game from Harvard on her own grounds, there will be no excuse for not winning the second game, which is to be played here. They must also understand that they will probably not have as strong...

...morning. Does it not look like "A prophet, etc,' again? What is the cause of this small attendance? Cannot each man, that now makes a practice of disregarding the college bell at eight-forty, make it a point to attend chapel for the rest of the year?
