...prospects of a strong cchss team this year are not very encouraging, and a great effort will have to be made to develop good material. The Chess Club has been greatly weakened by the loss of E. R. Perry '03, and the only men now in College who have had intercollegiate experience are G. E. Hyde '02, Estes '04, and Baker...
...Address to Radcliffe Graduates," by C. E. Norton, '46, is a graceful bit of advice as to some of the objects and results of education. To quote: "The final aim and effort of civilization is to make life pleasanter; and this is the object of what we call good manners. . . .

He gave three bases, made a wild pitch, and allowed seven hits, two of which were for three bases. He was remarkably steady in the eighth and ninth innings, however. The playing of Frantz was the most valuable for Harvard. Aside from bringing in the winning runs, he made a throw to second in the eighth, which resulted in a double play. Reid did not hit as well as usual, but played his position well...
