...accepted a challenge from Columbia. More than this can hardly be expected of her; and now she ought not to so place herself that hereafter any undesirable race can be forced upon her. She ought not to involve herself in a series of races from which she cannot withdraw at once; and if the challenges from Columbia are accepted, it ought to be understood that, in accepting these challenges, Harvard does not in the least bind herself to accept others...
When all played so well, with so much vim and steadiness, it is perhaps unnecessary to speak of individual accomplishment. But yet too much praise cannot be given to the excellent playing of our pitcher and catcher, the backbone of the Nine. Tyng's batting was something immense; his old reliable black-walnut bat knocking Carter's "effectiveness" into thin air. Ernst pitched in a way that none of those Yale fellows could find out, and he, too, did good work at the bat. The bases were splendidly played, their guardians never failing to do their duty, however difficult. Latham...
...last Seventy-seven has left us. No poet in melodious lay has sung, no orator in rounded periods has eulogized, her proud achievements.

We must ask the pardon, therefore, of our editorial friends at Yale and elsewhere for making one more allusion to the Hall. We have not always been so fortunate as to agree in every point...
...matter of honors the graduating class has done something she may well be proud of; for her record is the highest of any class during the last six years at least: we investigated no farther. Of course sound, deep scholarship cannot be measured; for there are very many men who really do hide their candle under a bushel; but in the long run, supposing the number of such men to be about equal in each succeeding year, an estimate of more or less value can be formed from mere outward success. In comparing Seventy-seven's record of honors with...
