...wholesome respect for the Harvard Nine which experience taught, but which seems to have degenerated into a patronizing feeling of superiority. This is not only Harvard's first victory over the "Reds," but also their first defeat at the hands of an amateur organization, and the result will no doubt be of great benefit to both, encouraging Harvard, while, if nothing more, impressing Boston with a sense of the "glorious uncertainty" of Base Ball. The day was cold, the attendance slight, and yet the game was one of unusual interest; the presence of the "veterans" Bush, Wells, and McKim...
...larger, and, we must say, the more vigorous. From the Salutatory we learn that it is conducted by the literary societies of the University. The articles are all well written, interesting, deep, and spirited. Though we shall always welcome its appearance, and wish it all success, we very much doubt whether that success, as the Review claims, "will have accomplished a reform which is needed at other institutions of learning as well as our own." Experience has shown that long articles, however well written, are seldom read by the majority of students, and a college paper, to live, must...
Saratoga has been mentioned, and it has no doubt great advantages, especially in hotel accommodations; but the course is three miles away from the city, and, if the race is not rowed towards the city, the finish will be six miles away, and there is nothing but a carriage-road leading to the lake.

In a course which could by any possibility prove beneficial to those pursuing it, there would, no doubt, have been appointed an instructor who should bestow upon it his undivided and fullest efforts. Not so Roman Law. It was sufficient to engage the services for a few hours a week of a gentleman whose time ought to have been considered fully occupied. Anything more expensive would have been...
...case of a more important study, a passing thought might have been given to providing the necessary text-book, so that no delay should be suffered from want of it. But as for Roman Law, the book was not of the slightest consequence. No doubt it was expected to appear when wanted; and if not, it would not make much difference. Those who were foolish enough to choose such a study could wait eight or ten weeks well enough; or they could drop the study when they became tired of waiting, and grind up a little back work in some...
