...then the monitors would be compelled to mark, and the absences were recorded. In April, 1831, Francis C. Gray, then a member of the Corporation, addressed a public letter to Levi Lincoln, Governor of Massachusetts, vindicating the College against the charge of sectarianism, which had been brought on the ground that the daily religious services were performed by professors in the Theological School. 'It is alleged,' he says, 'that the prayers are made by the professors in Theology, and may pervert the minds of the pupils. Surely no one in New England can contend that so large a family should...
...University Nine played the first match-game of the season last Saturday with the Rollstones of Fitchburg. Not much was to be expected of the first game of a newly made-up nine. The game was long, and in general uninteresting, with occasional brilliant plays. The ground was execrable, and the infielders waited for the ball with but little hope of judging it correctly.

We should all be sorry to see the enterprise, started only three years ago at the unanimous request of the students, fall to the ground; and it is only through listlessness, or a feeling that some one will be sure to support it, that so many of us are backward. This being the case, has not the Reading-Room a claim on all, even upon those who do not use it, inasmuch...
