...Haven Saturday by a score of eight to nothing. There were only a dozen Harvard men at the game, and the support was overwhelmingly for Yale. The Yale team played a perfect fielding game up to the last inning, and their work in this particular was a strong contrast with Harvard's. Harvard's errors were inexcusable but they seemed more the result of nervousness than anything else. Her batting was by no means as weak as the score would indicate.

...class game between Ninety and Ninety-one yesterday called out an enthusiasm that was delightful to witness. The large and interested crowd that assembled was a marked contrast to the slim attendance which used to discourage class nines in former years.

Professor Chaplin spoke at the college conference meeting last evening on college discipline. In commencing he gave a short sketch of the history of discipline at Harvard, and showed the sharp contrast between the methods of the past and the present. At the start Harvard made rules generously. The rules were written in Latin, and each student had to make his own copy in a fair hand. Some of the rules of 1743 were read. Students were not allowed to sell each other articles of more than on shilling's value. Most of the punishments were by fines. Five shillings...
