...regard to the game are decidedly vague. Matches enough are played at Longwood, Medford and other places in the vicinity; but only the men who know the game are willing to travel any distance to see it. If matches are instituted at Cambridge, however, there is no doubt that interest in cricket will be greatly increased here...
...writer makes a plea for mission work to be carried on by the students of Harvard as it is by those of Oxford and the University of Edinburgh. Whether such a plea is likely to have any effect on the men at Harvard is a matter of grave doubt. There are a few, no doubt, who would be willing to make the sacrifice, but most of us are too selfish, too securely bound up in our own petty lives, to give much thought to the unfortunate beings who make up the North...

The citizens of Cambridge have been admitted by courtesy and allowed to pass through at any time of day or night. But we begin to doubt the ownership of the college property when we see the part between the college library and Harvard street literally infested with Cambridge muckers. These young ragamuffins cluster there by hundreds almost every afternoon, and even at night; and they make pedestrianism on the path to the library an exceedingly dangerous undertaking...
