...second inning, Harvard again failed to score, but had two men left on bases. Schafer scored for the Bostons, the next three men retiring at first. Score, 1 to 0 in favor of the Bostons. Neither Nine scored in the third inning. In the next two innings Harvard made four runs by good batting, assisted by errors of Morrill and Manning. Boston failed to score again till the end of the sixth inning, when the score stood 4 to 1 in favor of Harvard. After this, however, the tide turned. Harvard did not score again, while the Bostons, principally...
...decided that the expenses at Saratoga, besides railroad fares, of any one who was chosen by the club to represent the College in the single-scull race would be paid; but that beyond this nothing else would be done. There have been four men trying for the single-race championship, Le Moyne, '77, Danforth, '77, Harriman, '77, and Denton, L. S. S.

To man our first and second club crews forty men are needed; and certainly forty is a smaller part of the number of undergraduates here, than three hundred and forty is of the whole number at Oxford. The comparison is far from being creditable...
...waste much time over studies which to them are useless and repugnant, to the neglect of the classics, and other subjects which would be at once more congenial, more useful, and more improving. Freshmen should study mathematics without doubt, but it is manifestly unnecessary to force them to study four different kinds, besides mechanics and chemistry. The effect of this system is twofold: to make the Freshman year very disagreeable and expensive to those students who have not mathematical minds, and to fill the pockets of private tutors, who expect a large compensation for the disagreeableness of the occupation which...
