...clock this afternoon at Annapolis in what will probably be its first hard game of the season. This game has been substituted for the usual one with West Point, and is the first that Harvard has ever played with Annapolis.

The increasing tendency to complete the requirements for an A.B. degree in three years and the changes in the Scientific School account for much of the loss in the undergraduate departments. In the slow but steady growth of the Law and Medical Schools is found an ample vindication of the policy...
