...college in the way of subscriptions. Many men who have subscribed have as yet failed to pay, while the amount subscribed is much smaller than it has been in the pas. -We fear that this complaint will be echoed by almost every organization in college. The college seems to show its desire that Harvard should be represented by newspapers as well as by athletics in the most inexpensive way. It seems to be taken for granted that the nine and crew will always exist and that the papers will always appear regularly, but the fact that such luxuries cost money...
...associations. The Harvard Club at San Francisco, which greatly outnumbers the Yale club in that city, is doing its utmost to induce the young men of California who desire a university training, to choose Harvard as the place most adapted to their needs.

A moments reflection will show any one the necessity of subscriptions as our athletics are now carried on. Moreover there is more than the mere money transaction in this subscribing. It enables our representatives to keep the name of Harvard where it always should be in the very front of athletics. In knowledge of this...
This evening General Opdyke lectures under the auspices of the Historical Society, in Sanders Theatre. We congratulate the society on their success in obtaining a more commodious hall. It now only remains for the students at large to show their appreciation of this most interesting course by being present at the remaining lectures. Such opportunities to learn new facts concerning the Civil War from such good authorities are seldom obtainable, here or elsewhere. The subject this evening is especially interesting, as it is one of which most men know less than of many phases of the great...
