...Football Team has ended its work for the present season, and it may be justly praised for the honest and hard work which it has done. Although unsuccessful last Saturday, no one who saw the game can have failed to admire its pluck, and to recognize that the Team gave evidence of more faithful training than that of the past two years. The faults by which both the Princeton and Yale games were lost are such as may be corrected next year if attended to early in the season. The fact that the Yale men outweighed...
...hear that with the advice and encouragement of two prominent members of the Faculty, a paper is being signed by the Juniors, petitioning the Faculty for a reduction in the amount of work required of the Junior class. It is proposed to cut down the work by requiring only twelve hours of electives instead of fourteen.

Apart from its great expense, no Freshman race of the past few years has been so arranged as to draw many spectators. It is natural and fitting that the University Race with Yale should absorb...
...class races, as said before, will train men for the 'Varsity of the succeeding year; and if any man is good enough to row on the 'Varsity in his first year, his rowing in the class races will show it as well as six weeks' more work would; even if it did not, no man ought to be put into the 'Varsity much later than the class races, as it would take some time for him to get in with the 'Varsity men's work. Last year, after the class races, the Captain of the 'Varsity wished...
