...Friday the Nine played with the professional Manchesters, and, after a game of twenty-four innings, decided to call the game a draw, the score standing zero to zero. This is by far the most remarkable game on record; and the inability to score was due not only to the dead ball, but also to Ernst's puzzling delivery and the brilliant fielding of the Manchesters. The game was called at 3 P. M. by Mr. Holmes, '78, the Harvards being at the bat. Both Nines retired in striking order for the first two innings, three of the Manchesters falling...
...Dean desires us to call special attention to the new rule given on the last page of the list of electives. In the future, September 22 will be the last day for changing electives,- not August 15, as heretofore. Between this date and October 7 no changes whatever will be allowed. After that changes can be brought about only by personal application to the Dean. These regulations will be enforced to the letter, and as the Dean has taken particular pains to have the change generally known, no one who fails to comply with the law will be permitted...
...fact that some men are entered for two consecutive races; and these men can hardly be expected to step from one boat into the other without some rest.

Princeton called on their substitutes three times; no Harvard man was disabled, though Holmes was slightly hurt in the first part of the game. The match was closely contested, but there were too many bad plays on either side to call it a fine game. The best long kicks were without doubt made by Princeton, but they failed in always having a man on the spot to follow up the advantage; in which latter respect Harvard was "right there." On the Harvard team Seamans's playing was splendid; Blanchard was rugged, and always on hand; Cushing, '79, was omnipresent, turning...
...prize essays are well enough, since they stimulate literary activity without involving cramming; but why examinations of the partial character announced should be made the object of intercollegiate contest it is hard to see. They call forth work, but not of the right kind. To examine a man on a play of AEschylus and orations of Demosthenes and AEschines cannot make him a broad Greek scholar, but will only force him to cram these subjects till he knows them by heart. Such an examination is no test of his ability to read the language. Again, it is necessary...
