...Divinity School. We cannot but think that the ground taken by the Nation is the right one, and that it was a mistake for President Eliot to come forward so prominently and solicit subscriptions for the school. We are sure that President Eliot, after having done so much to give Harvard a national position, would not intentionally take any step to diminish its claim to that position; but it certainly seems to us that his solicitation of subscriptions for the Divinity School has this tendency. After carefully reading Dr. Clarke's arguments we cannot see how the Harvard Divinity School...

This school gives such instruction as has been furnished in the past only by the best technical schools of Europe, and uses "many graphical and abridged methods not yet embodied in text-books...
...right-field; Ernst reaches first base on a missed third-strike; Wright steps up to bat, and earns two bases on a long liner out to left field, bringing Ernst home, amidst great excitement. Winsor gets to second by an error of centre-field; and a base-hit will give two more runs; unfortunately Olmstead and Nunn both go out on fouls. Score, Yale 4, Harvard 1. There is a slight hope for the crimson...
