...large proportion of ladies were present at the second winter meeting of the H. A. A., but on the whole, the attendance was small.

Trowbridge and Mr. Sabine propose to study the surface to the moon and determine its character by means of the absorption of the ultra-violet rays by surfaces...
...Princeton, and from this they received nothing, for by the present arrangement in the intercollegiate association, the whole of the gate receipts goes to the home team. $200 was spent in order to get a game here with the Montreal team and the receipts from this game were very small. As a result of these circumstances the Lacrosse team began the year with a debt of $572. This debt has been reduced by subscriptions to $355. It will require very economical management to bring the team out clear this year...
