...critical points, but at other times her work in the field was careless. She batted well straight through, but failed to bunch her hits very successfully. By far the worst point of the team was the base running, which was execrable. If Yale's had not been almost equally as bad, the game would surely have gone to the men from New Haven. For Harvard at times neither the baserunners nor the coachers had the slightest idea what was the correct thing to do, and the result was several easy putouts by Yale when Harvard needed runs the most. Unless...
...well, there ought to be no reason why all the clubs should not get together. As to the match next Saturday, though the number of contestants will be small, it will be interesting, and as many as can ought to go to Watertown and encourage the team.

There is certainly excellent material in the nine...
...possible, and already the effort, taking into consideration Mr. Villard's generous gift of $500, seems likely to be successful. A committee has been organized, under the direction of Dr. Francke, to have charge of the raising of funds among the students. The choice of books will be left almost entirely to Dr. Francke, assisted by the German department. The library rooms will be given by the University, and will be fitted tastefully from the committee's funds. It is intended that, when the library is opened, all may have access simply upon the application...
