...Express this morning at 11 o'clock. A fine rain was falling in the afternoon; but the team dressed in the Naval Academy Gymnasium and had outdoor fielding and batting practice. The ground and ball were very slippery, which caused several errors; but the fielding on the whole was good and the batting hard. Brennan and Hartford did the pitching...
...only men from last year's team who are eligible now are Captain E. J. Wendell '07, E. S. Barber '08, P. B. Francis '08, and B. M. Vance '08.

Too much stress has been laid upon the idea that in order to be musical one must be a musician, but all that is necessary to have a proper appreciation of good music as an art. These speakers commended the work undertaken by the Musical Club in attempting to interest all men in the love and study of music for its own sake. Professor Lewis told of the attempts which have been made to introduce music courses into secondary and preparatory schools...
