...Trafford and Hall kicked back and forth several times, when Upton got the play for Harvard but hurt his knee. Blanchard was substituted. Lee made twenty yards, but Harvard played off side and Wesleyan took the ball. On the second down Hall punted to Saxe who ran a short distance. At this point Lee broke through the whole Wesleyan eleven and spurted down the field making a touchdown from the forty-five yard line. Time 22 minutes. No goal. Score 18-2. B. Trafford made a fair catch of Hall's kick. Vigorous work by Lee, Saxe, Stickney and Blanchard...
...perhaps not the most apparent. But Mr. Watson-Taylor has assumed that the crew rowed as Mr. Storrow wished them to; this is distinctly not so. While we had faults that were common to every man, our most glaring faults were individual ones. The men were together but a short time and had been taught to row in about as many different ways as there are men in the boat. There was hardly time after Mr. Storrow got hold of them to get them in anything like a uniform method of rowing. With what little accuracy words can describe...
...this early season of the year we are crowded, overwhelmed with examinations and special written work. No sooner is the forensic brief handed in than there comes a thesis due in Philosophy so and so, and an hour examination in almost every course; in short we are surfeited with work, and so unable to do anything satisfactorily.

Conceive them as best one may, the latter are certainly no more...
STUDENTS OF HARVARD COLLEGE: On or about November 1st, I shall open a school of Shorthand and Type-writing at Harvard square (positive time and location announced later) expressly for the students of Harvard College. I shall teach my new system of short hand, which is liberally endorsed by the press and expert stenographers as the easiest, briefest and most accurate system of shorthand extant; it can be completely mastered in three months and a speed of 125 words per minute acquired. Pupils write from the first lesson. The first week will be free and I cordially invite all students...
...number of between 120 and 130 will almost fill the space in the basement between the two staircases leaving only room for a passage way. The material for the work is now at the Gymnasium ready to fit together and be put up, which will occupy only a short time, so that the lockers will probably be ready in about two weeks. There are now nearly one hundred and twenty men on the waiting list for lockers, and probably by the time the lockers are finished the number of men waiting will have reached the number of new lockers...
