...refusal of Yale to accept Harvard's proposal for a dual league caused some delay in arranging the base ball schedule, but it has at length been completed for this month. The dates originally proposed for games with Yale are still in some doubt, but will probably be filled within a few days. It is satisfactory to notice that the opposing teams this month are much stronger than those Harvard has been playing. It was thought best to open the season with games against comparatively weak teams, and give all the promising candidates a test. Now they have been sifted...
...accept what seems to be the tacit understanding, that the course requires six hours of work a week, what of the courses in Analytical Chemistry, I which are described as "chiefly laboratory work," and which take twice six hours? With only a single division into courses and half courses, it is impossible to give more credit for Chemistry 5 than for Chemistry 2; but it is only fair to designate in some way the requirements of the courses, so that a man will not find himself at this time of the year with hard courses growing harder and laboratory work...

Harvard left "choice of course, distance, number of men, and date" to Yale. If Yale's choice is a two mile race between teams of three men, at the Elm City Driving Park, on June 9, Harvard will, according to the terms of the challenge, be glad to accept. The letter from the Yale Athletic Association does not appear...
...present Greenleaf, Davis, Brown, P. W. Davis, and Barron are training on the track; and if Yale or Columbia accept Harvard's challenge, and choose a road race, some other men will train for that. Unfortunately, E. A. Bailey has left college, and cannot, therefore, ride in the Harvard team...
