...fifth inning, when he showed his only weakness by giving Bliss a base on balls. Ramsdell's error advanced the runner to second, Murphy's single brought him to third, and Young forced him home by sending Bowers to first on four poor balls. After that he showed better control of the ball and pitched brilliantly striking out two of Yale's best basmen when every base was occupied. Princeton failed to get a man past first till the fifth, when Ramsdell secured a base on balls, took second on a wild pitch and third on Trenchard's sacrifice...

The report of '87-'88 was highly encouraging as to the moral...
...mind. Whatever the nature of the building may be, the money to build it must be raised by subscription, and (if the building is to be on college grounds as proposed) must be given over to the Corporation of Harvard College. It is the Corporation which must own and control the building. Moreover the nature of the building must be such as designated by the deed of gift, and the Corporation has no authority to devote it to purposes which in their judgment do not comply with the requirements of the deed of gift. Whoever raises the subscription and turns...
