...departments of the institution are contained in a magnificent free stone building, of an eighth of a mile in length. It is divided into sections, three of which, Seabury, Northam Tower, (the centre of the building) and Jarvis, are used for dormitories. Other sections contain the chapel, library, laboratories and lecture rooms. In the basement is the common, dining-room. Each of the four college societies has a table of its own; there are also neutral tables for non-society men, and others for members of the faculty who live in the building...

Then the sixth resulted in a gain of three more runs for the Beacons, on an error, a single and Richardson's clean home run.

Alvord's support behind the bat was fine, and his throwing to second base excellent, Scruton was batted very freely, Storrs and Haskell making home runs. Artz caught well for Dartmouth, but the fielding on both sides was weak. The score which follows is a rather remarkable...
