Captain Burr's modest and straight-forward account of the development of the team, Mr. Watts's survey of the football season, and Mr. Fisher's description of the present condition of the Trophy Room, complete the November tribute to outdoor sports. Mr. A. K. Jones, who rang the College bell for fifty years, is the subject of a brief article with portraits.

With directness and force, he outlined the hopes and plans for the coming year, and especially the one preeminent aim of the association--that it may be so broad as to unite in straight-forward religious life and work all earnest Harvard men, and that creed and form, while not considered lightly, may yet be subordinate to unity in fundamental moral, ethical and religious purposes...
