The Pennsylvanian remarks editorially: "Although in the Harvard-Pennsylvania contest we scarcely predicted a home victory, yet we did believe that Pennsylvania would score and make the game a brilliant and close one. As it was, our team played a good game, but their light - weight and bad initial policy counted against them, and they were fairly and squarely beaten."

"Dennison and Bancroft are going to Dartmouth next year; Knowlton, Harvard Medical School; Brainard and Aldrich will probably leave, while Hotchkiss is intending to enter Williams. Will Graves and Perrin of course will not come back, and there is a good chance of Haskell and Hamilton severing their connection with the school next summer. What a brilliant outlook we have for next fall."
