...annual reception given by the Faculty to new students in the University last night in the Union was attended by a large number of both upperclassmen and Freshmen. Dean Briggs presided and introduced the speakers in the following order Dean W.W. Fenn '84, Professor T.W. Richards '86, J. Richardson, Jr., '08, and President Lowell...
...Freshmen who can possibly do so should come out for the dormitory crews which begin work next Monday. This branch of fall, rowing affords every new man an excellent opportunity to obtain preliminary training which will prove valuable when class rowing commences.

One way of meeting this is the appointment of upperclassmen to manage Freshman teams, a practice in vogue at Yale. It would not be without its attendant advantages, since it would make for greater efficiency. Vagarles of Freshman managers are not unknown: we need only mention that during the past season the fun-loving Freshman track team found itself booked for the same...
