...card players that few games possess the interest and advantage of "whist." Years ago whist clubs were among the most popular at college, but latterly they have either become insignificant, or have wholly disappeared. A few years ago an effort was made to organize a club, but with little success. It was proposed to have a regular club-room, with the proverbial tea served to players, and in short it was to be fashioned after the manner of the whist clubs so famous in London during the past century.

We retain most of our former champions who have done themselves and the university much credit for the last two years, and several promising additional candidates for athletic honors have appeared, who bid fair to keep up Harvard's prestige.

That cooperation has been successful in many instances in this country is an undoubted fact, but to succeed requires careful management. As some one has said, only a philanthropist ought to manage a cooperative store. The application of the system to a community of college students is certainly novel and, as far as we can learn, unprecedented, and our sister colleges will look upon our undertaking with the greatest interest. Harvard thus occupies the important...
