Catalogues show that there are now in college 1007 students, divided among the various classes as follows: Seniors, 193; juniors, 235; sophomores, 257; freshmen, 253; specials, 69. According to this '85 has lost two; '86, thirteen; while '87 has gained from last year. '88 has the same number as '87 did when she entered. This makes a gain of 35 in the academical department of to the university...
...Shakespeare Club. Notwithstanding the Boylston declamations and the course in elocution, little interest is manifested in the study of the subject. And as is almost invariably the custom they who would receive the most benefit from the study and practice derived from a thorough course in elocution, show the least inclination for such study.

The whole affair is looked upon by outsiders as an exhibition of student merry-making, as, indeed, it is. Many...
...strong one, and one which our eleven will have hard work to defeat. His opinion of Yale is clearly partisan. But even he admits that Yale is playing an active game and the large scores which Yale has made in all her games up to date certainly show that her men know how to score, which is the essential in winning games. Our team showed in its game with Pennsylvania that it was able to keep the ball at Pennsylvania's end of the field a large part of the time, but even when close to their line...
