...game was very interesting towards the last, Dartmouth leading by two runs from the fifth to the seventh innings. There was very little hitting on either side. Harvard led with seven hits, to four of Dartmouth. Three of Harvard's four runs were earned. The game was almost entirely a pitcher's game. O'Connor pitched magnificently for Dartmouth. He had almost perfect control of the ball. He struck out thirteen men, some of our best batters striking out two or three times in succession. He was finely supported by Ranney. Highlands pitched a strong game for Harvard, struck...
After the victory at New London last year and in view of such bright prospects for the race next June, one would naturally say that the crew would find almost unbounded support in the college. Yet the manager of the crew reports that the subscriptions are not as large as they were last year. This is not only mortifying, but serious.

To judge from the record made by the Chelsea eleven last year, the game is almost sure to be a good one. Those who do not go with the nine to Providence will have a good chance or getting a better idea of how the game of cricket is played. One of the reasons why the college takes so little interest in the game is that most of the men do not understand the fine points of the playing. Almost any game would seem...
...virtue, and it is only in his sincerity and veracity, that the hero differs from ordinary mortals. The secret of the graphic qualities of Carlyle's style lies in his noble, loving heart. The talent he showed was in turning the history of England into a kind of Iliad - almost a Bible. His histories are collections of biographies, and his idea of a biography was a very exalted one. He sought after the central moral principle of the man, then he showed that the intellectual power was commensurate...
