...have heard complaints that some of the freshmen have refused to give up their rooms to seniors on Class Day. This, we are sure, has happened through ignorance of college customs, and not through unwillingness to comply with them. The freshmen probably do not appreciate that Class Day is Seniors' Day. From Thursday to Saturday the college is given up to them and the campus and buildings are entirely at their disposal. Other undergraduates are regarded only as invited guests, and have no claims to consideration except as friends of the seniors. The hosts of the day need the dormitories...
...keeping a winning team in the field in spite of such discouraging conditions for practice as they have labored under. They have already won a match from Yale this term, and may hope for new intercollegiate honors in the spring and in future years. The best way to make sure of a winning team is by securing better grounds and incurring more men to go out for regular practice. It will be an advantage also to the less active members of the club and to other men interested in shooting to have a range near the college, where they...

At present there is one man in the high jump who is away ahead of his competitors; the same...
...famous '85 nine. No graduate can have more respect and confidence than a man who built a champion team out of a nine which had been ingloriously defeated the year before. With his generalship and experience in base ball to help guide our policy, we may be sure that our nine will not suffer. The crew will have for one of its representatives, Mr. H. W. Keyes, who is at present acting as coach, and is looked to by the college to teach Harvard a winning stroke. Mr. W. H. Goodwin, Jr., is famous as a record-breaker in running...
