...interest which is taken in the classes in elocution is a good sign of the importance which men are assigning to correctness in speech and nicety in enunciation. Under the tuition of the present instructor, time and attention is devoted to the requirements of every day conversation, and not to those accomplishments which are justly termed theatrical and which are of value only to those who are to make the stage or public speaking their vocation. The competition for the prize speaking gives every indication of being better than it was last May. We hope that the present prospect will...
...training are: Phelps, P. G.; Walker, '88; Calhoun, '89; Lindsey, '89; Francke. '89; Day, '89; S.; Wilson, '89 S.; McBride, '90; Dalzell, '91; Dickermann, '91; McClintock, '91; Poole, '91, and Root, '91.

The Princeton trainer when seen at the foot-ball game and asked about base-ball prospects, replied: "We have a cage now and will put out as good a nine as possible, but we will never be able to best Yale as long as Stagg and Dann are in college." Harvard's principal anxiety seems to be that she hasn't a pitcher to equal Stagg. Spencer at first and McConkey at second base gained a reputation for their excellent work last...
There are quite a number of good players in college who are not practicing yet. Among these may be mentioned "Billy" Bull, full-back on the eleven last fall, who is as skillful a fielder as kicker. He played left field on his freshman team, and was one of the few good men on the '89 nine; McMillan, '89; Daval, Greer and G. Mason, '88, S., have all had more or less experience in college games and are fair players...
