Believing that the college ought to have a reading room and that an association can be organized and run successfully if those who are interested will cooperate, we have taken upon ourselves the responsibility of making the first move. The bursar has given the use of Massachusetts 2, one of us having become responsible for the cost of heating and lighting and for such other incidental expenses as the college may incur. The Union has kindly loaned the reading room furniture now in its possession. By the courtesy of the college papers the best known college exchanges will be kept...

...bids fair to be soon realized. The HERALD has previously expressed itself as in favor of the scheme and sees no reason now for changing its opinion. With careful and sensible management and with moderate and definite aims there is every reason why such an association should become a success and a power of great moment in the college world. In spite of the ultra-conservative forebodings of the Crimson and the Courant we think its uses and its outcome need neither be trivial nor doubtful. The HERALD certainly can see in the plan distinct practical advantages for itself...

...played so well in "kicking" and "passing" as the eleven of 1882, while Harvard's team has tried to combine all four essentials. The experience of the season, however, goes to prove that the weight and muscle required to excel in rushing and tackling are the main essentials to success under the existing code of Inter-collegiate Association rules. And, by the way, it is worthy of note that the amendments made at the last convention of the association, which were intended to do away with the "block game" and to put a stop to foul play in tackling...

...amateur and student of astronomy we must depend largely for the success of the plan here proposed. Many such persons spend evening after evening at their telescopes without obtaining results of any permanent value. Either no publication is made and the results are therefore valueless, or time is spent on objects that can be much more usefully examined with a larger instrument. Most commonly the observer has no special plan and spends many hours without result, while the same time might have been employed with equal pleasure to himself and results of great value collected. Those who have not tried...

...sorry not to be able to extend our sincere congratulations to Yale upon her success in winning the foot-ball championship for another year. If, however, the conduct of her team and the sentiment of her press can be taken as a criterion, Yale cares little for the respect and, consequently, still less for the congratulations of defeated rivals. When a team plays a foul, unfair game deliberately and intentionally, we consider that we have just cause for complaint. But when the college which such a team represents upholds such conduct, and the college press has the audacity, not only...
