If the championship is to be decided, the captains of the three upper classes must get together at once and arrange a couple of dates before class-day. As the freshmen are too far behind to stand any chance of winning two games...
...Peabody's "Harvard Reminiscences;" also "The World's Verdict," by Mark Hopkins, Jr.; Edwin P. Whipple's "Outlooks on Literature, Society and Politics;" and Mrs. Burnett's "Sara Creve," a companion to "Little Lord Fauntleroy...
