...economical administration is immaterial. Aside from the inconvenience incident to groping one's way through pitch darkness, these inky corridors involve the risk of headlong tumbles down staircases, and, in case of fire, absolute danger. To fully appreciate the significance of these conditions, it is necessary to attempt to make one's way after midnight from the top floor of Weld, Matthews, or Thayer to the basement...
...Hicks advanced McLaughlin to second, but he was left there when Potter fanned. In the next inning, after Minot had struck out, Lanigan and Marshall were passed. Lanigan stole second and continued to third on the catcher's poor throw to second. Another throw to second in an attempt to prevent Marshall from stealing resulted in another error, this one by Norton, who failed to get the short throw from the catcher, and Lanigan scored before the ball was recovered.

Harvard men reached first on errors in the eighth and ninth innings, but it was with...
...healthy as ever. Singing, too, is a delightful form of relaxation--delightful and apparently irresistibly alluring to the home-coming Freshman, no matter what the hour of the night, or whom it wakes. And when the vocal equipment of the perennially youthful undergraduate renders it unavailing for him to attempt sweet strains of harmony, shouting is no end of a relief to his surcharged spirits. But tempting as this species of amusement may be to alleviate the excessive exuberance of these nocturnal revellers, it makes a sorry lullaby for those who would like to sleep. Some of us merely like...
