...that the fall sports are over and that the various crews and teams are on the eve of beginning vigorous and systematic work in the gymnasium, we think that a word of encouragement and advice to the freshmen about their nine will not be amiss. Eighty-seven has done very well in foot-ball, better in fact than the two upper classes as regards the game with Yale, and we want her to do equally well in base-ball. Not only this, we want eighty-seven to better the record of eighty-six and to turn out a nine that...

...world for you and me." Never give up the valuable virtues for muddled fuddled stultified fabulous pandomoniums. Try is the lever that moves the life and matter of the world. Mark the march of evolution the last six thousand years ever since the days of Adam and Eve playing behind an apple tree sowing leaves together to make an apron or the dens and caves in the earth for a habitation. The future of the past eclipsed by humanity to man the heaven of the mind. Shakespere divides greatness into three characters, first born great, second to have greatness thrust...
