...returned with doleful tales of defeat, attributing their ill success to one cause or another, and making vigorous complaints about playing in a "brick-yard," the somewhat harsh tile they gave to the Andover foot ball field. From this it will be seen that Eighty-Eight has no easy task before her, and that, while only the sharpest of work can win a victory for the class, yet that victory will be one to remember with pride, if it be attained.

For this work the college is once more indebted to the Harvard Union, which has always shown energy and dispatch in taking up such investigations.
