 HARVARD REJOICES.
 At Harvard as well as at Yale, the news that representatives of the ath- letic interests of the two universities have at last arrived at an agreement whereby the athletic contests between the blue and the crimson, which were so abruptly broken off two years and a half ago, will be resumed, has oc- casioned considerable satisfaction. It had long been the desire of the under graduates of both universities that all differences might be patched up, and it is hinted that such a state of affairs might have been brought about some time ago had not graduate advisors prolonged negotiations.
 In speaking of the agreement yester- day Dr. Brooks of Harvard said: Tt is not to be understood that by meet ing Yale again in athletics Harvard in- tends in any way to shut out other colleges from the big games. The ex- clusiveness which has characterized for a time the Harvard-Yale agreements is now eliminated. Negotiations are be- ing made with other big colleges in which Yale is in no way identified. It is our purpose to establish college ath- letics generally on a wider scale by being more democratic. This is surely a commendable way in which to an- ticipate the jealousies which have been occasoned by the unwillingness of the two big universities to recognize the smaller colleges"
 Robert Emmons, who explained the Harvard football team two years ago, said of the agreement: Nothing has pleased me more than our reunion with Yale. I have read the agreement care fully and all of 1t meets my approba- tion. The one clause with which I am particularly satisfied is the agreement to have all inter- collegiate games on college grounds" | Assurance being given that the agree | ment would in all probability be ef- l fected at this last conference many candidates at Harvard came out on Saturday for the various teams. The crew has been working assiduously for some time. and is in excellent shape to meet Coach Lehman, who will be with 1 1t in two weeks.
