...spring, the number of men has been increased and the service made much superior to its former standard. These men guard especially against the suspicious stranger who enters the Yard with something to sell and proposes to enter the dormitories under one pretext or another, and it is very seldom that the outsider of doubtful mission escapes the surveillance of the patrol. There are, however, thefts carried on in one manner or another, and in order to guard against vagrant trespassers, it is urged that the undergraduates co-operate with the officers and report any missing articles, and give knowledge...
Ideas are intangible and unstable things. They cannot hold the attention of the hurrying multitudes of the city for a great length of time, seldom for as long as they deserve. But a solution lies in translating them into concrete--or brick--realities. This is the means which the Harvard Club of Boston has taken to establish the idea that Boston and Cambridge are united by the strong, though invisible, ties of Harvard.

The buttons serve only one purpose well, and that is of uniting the class by the sort of vague ties of tradition. And just as it is too late for Seniors...
...Mills played t guard was particularly pleasing, for he seemed not only to do his work well on the defence but to be down with the ends under punts. Of the line-men, Captain, Storer and Hitchcock, the veterans, played par excellence. Not a play got by them and seldom could the ends beat them down the field. Of the ends, Milholland, O'Brien, and L. Curtis all showed up well, though several times they needed assistance after getting sucked in on end plays. The work of Milholland and Curtis in taking forward passes was particularly encouraging...
