...What better means can there be than open debates between the two clubs that have just been reorganized? No definite conclusions could be reached, of course, by such discussion; but they would at least give a chance for the airing of opinions on both sides of disputed questions. This in itself is of no small value. A Republican or a Democrat gains little or nothing by walking ten miles in a procession with five hundred or a thousand equally ardent men of his own party. His opinions are not broadened by sitting in a friend's room and condemning...
...work of the Barrister battery, Came and Feary, was very good, especially when there were men on the bases. The rest of the team played erratically except Beale and Gray, both of whom fielded sharply and accurately.

Two courses have also been transferred from the Department of English to that of French...

...innings Columbia made but three scattered hits off Stillman. McDonald allowed three hits in the seventh inning, but settled down and pitched the last two innings in better form. Since Reid's leg gave him some trouble Milne went in to catch and did very good work, catching several fouls and throwing well to bases. Coolidge was back at short, but was not up to his form in the field, although he batted well...
