There is one inter-collegiate contest in which Harvard may justly consider herself entitled to the first place again this year, - the contest for the Mott Haven cup. The cup has been won for Harvard so repeatedly that to lose it even once at the close of so long and such creditable work, is out of the question. We publish, however, in another column, a statement of those winners of events last year who remain in Yale and who will probably again enter the contest. The list is truly formidable, to any other university than Harvard. But even Harvard must do all in her power if the cup is again to be brought to Cambridge. Eternal vigilance is the price of victory of any worth. Every man in the university who feels himself able to finish any event respectably should feel called upon to tender his support. With a new list of able and hard working officers for the athletic association, no effort should be lost to surpass even the victory of last year. The cup belongs here and here it shall return, let who will contest such a result. With such a determination in mind success is assured.
