...dimensions of the case may seem larger than is required; but allowance has been made for future additions, which we trust may never be wanting. Besides, it is intended to make the collection a complete one of the balls we have won by the University Nine since its organization in 1865. Second-hand balls will be purchased to take the places of those lost or not kept, fifty in all. These will be painted, and lettered with the name of the defeated club, score and date. The balls will cost $25, the painting, etc, of the balls now on hand...
...institution. Only five have elected Integral Calculus; the course in analytic mechanics is not taken at all; and no one of the other courses has more than three or four men in it. A department which gives advanced instruction to less than three per cent of each class would seem to be of doubtful use to a university. Mathematics has always been thought to give a fine mental training; but, if this training be accessible to so few men, all except the elementary courses might as well be given up, and some subject of use to a greater number...
...SENSE of the eternal fitness of things would seem to dictate that the papers should leave Memorial Hall in peace; but complaints have been pouring into us in regard to the short supply of food furnished.

President Eliot has given permission for these trophies to be placed in the Auditor's office in Memorial Hall. To many of us it may seem that these emblems of hard won victories deserve a more prominent place; but they have so long been without any resting-place that we should be thankful that they are now allowed the asylum of even an Auditor's office...
...class of '81 seems to need roughing less than any class that has come to Harvard for several years. Certainly it is not so painfully "cocky" as are most Freshman classes. Indeed, some of the class seem to feel that upper classmen consider them beneath their notice. For the consolation of such modest men we would say that unless a man gives himself away by knocking at the door of U. 5, or by calling the instructor "professor," he is not looked upon as an inferior being by any except senseless Sophomores. We are all liable to be taken...
