...Ehlermann. Jr., '05, as Martin Gollwitz, the old professor, sustained a difficult part with conspicuous success, which had its culmination in the quarrel and reconciliation with Friederike in the fourth act. As the actor-manager Striese, C. Kempner '06, showed ability seldom seen among amateurs. His return in the third act from the failure of the Professor's tragedy was one of the most amusing scenes in the play. The Emil Gross of H. Hagedorn, Jr., '07, was very delightful, his accent and mannerisms receiving frequent applause...
Under the "spoils" system, said Mr. Bonaparte, the Civil Service exists merely as a means of rewarding politicians.

The defense of both teams was good and had little difficulty in stopping the advance of the opposing forwards. Callaway, as usual, recovered quickly after losing...
...Freshman eleven defeated St. Mark's School at Southboro on Saturday, in the first game of their schedule, by a score of 23 to 0. The work of the Freshmen was very encouraging, the men playing with a spirit and dash seldom evident so early in the season. On the defense the team was particularly strong, the men in the line constantly breaking through to tackle the runner for a loss. The offence, however, left much to be desired, as the backs had to depend principally on their own efforts to gain ground...
