...Boston papers last evening that an epidemic of scarlet fever was raging at Harvard, and that the University would be closed today unless its spread could be instantly checked, are without the slightest foundation. There have been in all 17 cases, none of which are at all serious. No new cases have been reported for two days, and those now under treatment are amply provided for in the new contagious ward of the Stillman Infirmary.

Others go to the nearest city to amuse themselves. Each of these things, particularly the latter, is a more serious cause of interruption to college work than are most of the intercollegiate sports.

...whole student body will be increased. The Daily Princetonian, voicing the Princeton undergraduate sentiment, says: "We do not believe intercollegiate contests to be harmful, but rather a most beneficial and necessary factor of college life. They are essential to the welfare of a college community. But they have one serious defect in that they are not far reaching enough. . . . Our suggestion is that all the intracollege athletic contests and series be put on a firmer, more businesslike basis...
