...programme for the celebration of the centennial of Columbia College on April 13 has been arranged by the committees, and will be an elaborate one. The Metropolitan Opera-house has been engaged, and the public exercises will be held there. There is no doubt that the house will be unable to hold the people who are desirous of attending, and admission will be by ticket. Alumni and guests will receive their tickets at the College on registration of their names with the superintendent. Badges will be provided for all who register, and will be worn...
There is no doubt that in the matter of base-ball practice, Harvard is strongly handicapped by her opponents, Yale and Princeton. The two last have large and commodious buildings in which to practice hand-ball, etc., before the time comes to go on the field.

Four games with each club will settle the superiority, if there is any to be settled. Our friends in New York will not be able any longer to point to us and say that Harvard is afraid to admit Columbia. Columbia has been admitted...
...they are to be compelled to play with inferior nines. Although the college has voted once for all not to join the triangular league, still another meeting will probably be called in a day or two and perhaps the former vote will be reconsidered. There seems to be no doubt that if Columbia is admitted, Yale will only be too happy, by entering the new league, to get out of the isolated position in which she has, been for some time. In regard to Columbia, Yale thinks that college will prevent the unholy combination which Yale expected would rule things...
