...good or bad fortune of the present age to be one of intellectual tumult and revolution. The Christian world, like a man just awakening to the knowledge of his own faculties, has begun to question the truth of what it has been taught to accept as dogma. On the one hand, science, made confident by its recent achievements, assails the very foundations of the Christian religion, rejecting with scorn testimony and proof which require standards of judgment other than those of the exact sciences; while, on the other, literature, or rather the champion of the "literary theory of culture," refuses...
...good spirits, while our men showed a nervousness which they rarely exhibit in the field. The first striker sent a fly in Cutler's vicinity, and he took it neatly. The second at the bat succeeded in making his run, amid great excitement of the spectators, and through very bad play by our men. Hooper was pitching in a rather demoralized manner; and as the next striker for Yale took his position, he received whispered instructions from his captain, these, of course, being to wait for called balls.

...reported by the Secretary that whatever communications of importance had been received had been already made public through the college papers, in consequence of which he had nothing of interest to give.

The spirit of the article may be gathered from the comments upon garbled passages quoted from his work, many of which passages, by the by, strike us as particularly fine: "Too bad:"-" No; we hate lying."-"O blind man: O blind man:"-"Ah:"-"Here's richness! here's oiliness!"-"O, some of these Unitarian Radicals are noble liars."-"The Rev. Mr. Bartol can be dogmatic as any mighty fierce little lamb."-"Was Jesus a sneak?"-"Now, dear sir, don't measure Jesus...
...Spring Scratch Races of the H. U. B. C. were rowed over the Boat House course, Saturday, May 17. The single scull race was easily won by W. F. Weld, Jr., '76, with D. C. Bacon, '76, a bad second. For the double race there were two entries: F. S. Watson and F. R. Appleton, and C. W. Wetmore and W. Hartwell, all of '75. Hartwell had the misfortune to break his rudder near the start, and the other men came in first with a very pretty stroke. The six-oar race was a very good one. Only two crews...
