...seem to be giving very hearty support this fall to our University Athletics, either by subscriptions or by training, for the honor of the Crimson. The Football Team, of which we were all so proud, was well supported, it is true, when it went to New Haven, and realized a sum sufficient to be a decided help in paying its expenses.

...never been all that a Harvard daily should be, nor yet all it at one time gave promise of becoming. In a new enterprise deficiencies are to be excused; but the present volume of the Echo falls considerably below the standard of its predecessors. And yet it would seem as if, among the battalions of editors which our cotemporary boasts, enough talent and energy might be found to secure freedom from grammatical and typographical errors, at least. We are of the opinion that Harvard deserves as good a daily as Yale, and will support one. There is, however, room...
