Here and there a professorship is fairly well endowed, but the aggregate income of the college professorship funds is only about $30,000, while the annual payments to the instructors in the college is over $154,000. No one can doubt that if the alumni gave what they can well afford to give, and what they would probably be willing to give if they fully understood the facts, a fund could be accumulated which would yield an income sufficient to pay men like Professors Bowen, Child, Norton, Gibbs, Cooke, Dunbar, Peirce, Goodale, Shaler and Royce amounts...
YALE, 5; HARVARD, 4.One of the closest games ever played on Holmes Field took place on the 26th of last June.

The eighth added two runs more, of which one was contributed by Richardson, who duplicated his former feat by driving to long right field for a second home...
...game on the whole, was tedious, and the only redeeming features were the occasional streaks of heavy batting, and the brilliant work of Wiestling. The regular umpire was relieved by the change umpire at the end of the fifth inning, and it is safe to say that both gave general and complete satisfaction. The score...
