...playing of the University team in the field was good, with the exception of one inexcusable error by Randall who dropped an easy throw. All the men fielded cleanly, and threw with considerable accuracy. The batting of the team was only fair, although the opposing pitchers were not above average ability. The hits were, however, advantageously massed at opportune moments. In this department, Matthews did the best individual work, making four safe hits out of six chances at the bat including a three-base and a two-base hit. The base-running of the men showed great improvement over their...
...more runs were made until the sixth inning, when Matthews made a base hit, and after stealing second and reaching third on an infield error, scored the tenth run on Clarkson's infield hit. Randall, who had reached third, stole home on an attempt to put out Coburn at second, and Coburn stole third on the throw to the plate. Murphy followed with a base on balls, and scored together with Coburn on an error by the third baseman. Another base on balls, an Infield error, and Matthews's two-base hit brought in the two final runs...
...error on which the three-year idea is based seems to be that the degree of Bachelor of Arts simply denotes that its holder has done the work of seventeen courses.

...treatment and variety of theme is unusually good. The leading editorial--on criticism--by neglecting the precaution of premising its definition of good criticism and over-looking the fact that, besides the destructive, there is an appreciative criticism often as illuminating as the work itself, falls into the error of condemning the good for the sins of the bad. The second editorial, an appeal to the serious minded for a right understanding of the "College butterfly," is very seasonable. The longer contributions are all in prose with one exception, "The Two Wreaths," a poem in three stanzas, delicate in thought...
...view of recent editorials on the subject of Commencement changes, permit me to call attention to a singular error made in a communication on the subject and overlooked in the editorials in question. The communication referred to found two objections to the plan suggested by the Committee of Alumni. The more important of these was based on the fact that the Committee's plan provided for a baseball game with Yale on the Tuesday prior to Commencement, and on that day, Commencement Day at Yale, our ball team was expected to play at New Haven. As a matter of fact...
