...appreciated in my Senior year, and for three years have been looking forward to it with keen anticipation. Now, without any warning, comes the announcement that if Seniors wish to take the course they will have to do the work of a whole year, but will receive the credit only for a half. This, I think, is decidedly unfair. No one doubts the right of the department to make such a regulation, but the fairness of doing so without noitce may well be questioned...
...University at large responsible for this affair. There have been occasions within the last year or two upon which students have been rather careless with firearms, and generally obstreperous; but a timely warning has always done away with this kind of thing, and it can be said, to the credit of the undergraduates, that no firearms of any kind were heard after Saturday's game. There is, however, a distinction to be made between these small breaches of discipline and the painting of the statue.

With men on bases he always managed to rise to the emergency. Another feature of the game was Scannell's batting. Out of four times at the bat he made three hits, one a double...

And so, even though the clubs are not very hightly thought of by the faculty committee on public entertainments...
...compete against Yale a week later is apparent; and unless some decided measures can be taken to better their condition in the next two weeks, the showing made in the Mott Haven games promises to be just as unworthy. We do not wish to take away from the credit of Yale's victory: the Yale team was far stronger than was expected and won the meeting on its merits. But the Harvard men, with two or three notable exceptions, could not have been anywhere near at their best, and this fact must be due to mismanagement in the training...
