...dinner to the eleven last night was from all points of view a marked success and both in numbers and enthusiasm, surpassed any dinner that has ever been given by Harvard men to an athletic team. The fact is more remarkable, too, when we reflect that the team in whose honor the dinner was given has been far from successful in actual victories won. There is but one conclusion to be drawn. Captain Cumnock and his men were honored for their manly struggle and signal fair play throughout the season...
...question-the latter only remains, and there is certainly much to commend this. The position in which Harvard stands today is in danger of becoming equivocal. By withdrawing entirely from any systematized intercollegiate athletics, Harvard would occupy a completely defensible and consistent position. It looks, more over, in view of Yale's growing reticence to broach the question of a dual league, as if Harvard's only course lay in a consistent and thoroughgoing withdrawal. In such a position neither her motives nor her actions could be successfully assailed...
...Before middle life, at any rate, it should be merely medicine and taken in extreme moderation. In regard to ventilation it may be said that certain recitation rooms in Harvard are very poorly ventilated, worse than the worst in Tewksbury.

As for athletics, the best for the college are those that are most general. Intercollegiate athletics are a good thing, but must be regarded...
...election of Cumnock, '91, as captain of the eleven is from all points of view a fitting close to the foot-ball season. The energy and the skill which Captain Cumnock has shown has earned for him the confidence not only of the college but of the graduates as well. Harvard men may certainly feel that whatever mistakes may have been made will be corrected and whatever new ought to be done will be accomplished. The eleven is certainly in the best of hands, and the prospects for foot-ball in the future are better than they ever have been...
...invitation of the Harvard Electrical club delivered an interesting lecture last night in the Jefferson Physical Laboratory on the nature of electricity. He wished to call attention, the lecturer said, to a few experiments which have been made in German laboratories during the last two years with a view to illustrating a great electrical principle. The two great generalizations of the last two hundred years, the laws of gravitation and of the conservation of energy, have both originated in England. In fact all great advances in the domain of Physics have been made by Anglo-Saxons. The German experiments...
