...Harvard Nine which experience taught, but which seems to have degenerated into a patronizing feeling of superiority. This is not only Harvard's first victory over the "Reds," but also their first defeat at the hands of an amateur organization, and the result will no doubt be of great benefit to both, encouraging Harvard, while, if nothing more, impressing Boston with a sense of the "glorious uncertainty" of Base Ball.

In the case in hand, had not the College been so poor, it would have been possible, perhaps, to have appointed a new instructor, after the necessary withdrawal of the one first selected...

True culture is nothing less than the development of every part of our nature, and in leading the intellectual life our studies may be made of as much benefit as reading, provided only that we look at them, not by themselves, but only as a part of a training that will help us to become that which, by our true intellectual instincts, we desire...
