...arranged with the Montreal Lacrosse Club ought to awaken the lacrosse men of the college to unwonted activity. After winning both the inter-collegiate championship and the Oelrichs cup the team should consider itself bound to make a strong showing against all comers. To be sure, the men are somewhat out of training, and the graduation of '85 has in a degree disorganized the twelve, yet the number of good players in college is sufficiently large to furnish a strong team, which, by earnest training, may be brought into form sufficiently to represent fittingly the university in the proposed game...

...Beta Kappa had ceased to be a secret organization and became, as now, an honorary literary society, to which are elected the honor men of each class. In most of the chapters the members are elected from the senior class and from the classical students. It is a somewhat peculiar circumstance that of the ten fraternities enumerated below, six trace their origin to Union College, confirming the title she has often received as the "Mother of Secret Societies." Of those given below, D. K. E. has the largest membership, with Psi U. and Alpha Delta Phi closely following. The columns...
