...previous game, the positions of the two Nines seemed just reversed; the King Philips made no headway against Hooper's pitching, while the Harvards took hold of their pitching from the first. Eustis made a home-run, and Annan, White, and Estabrooks two-base hits. In fact, the game was virtually won in the first inning; the Harvards making eight runs. The fielding in the seventh inning was decidedly loose; Hooper, by a throw too wild even for Tyler to get, gave the King Philips two runs. Madigan, of the King Philips, made a beautiful running catch in centre field...
...idea that we do not appreciate the valuable Library from which it is our privilege to draw books seems to have gained credence among some, from the fact that comparatively few books are taken by each student in the course of a year. It is not the number of books that can be read which makes a sure addition to knowledge, but the careful study of those we master, and this involves much labor and time.

The different modes of address employed by the two gentlemen to whom we have alluded may be taken in illustration of the power which man exercises over his fellows, and of the force of plain dignified truth as opposed to specious...
...would be a temptation to suggest that the oft-repeated quotations from Mr. Hughes's little speech in Massachusetts Hall had become somewhat stale, were it not to be said in excuse that there is as much occasion for our English visitor's criticism now as then. The one fact that the number who elect political economy this year is thirteen per cent less than last, shows that Mr. Hughes's words failed of the desired effect, notwithstanding their repetition by others till they had become quite threadbare. Granted that college graduates are too reluctant to enter public life...
