...with the Bostons on the above date. Tyler being laid up with a strained back, Cutler, '75, was substituted for him in left field. Barker, '73, played third base, and White caught. The playing during the latter half of the game was very pretty. Annan made a fine left-hand catch, and Kent a difficult fly while running with the ball. Estabrooks led at the bat, and Cutler gave good promise of being a valuable acquisition to the field...
...opinions, the foolishness of which I shall show you immediately." Turning to an attendant, he said, "Bring up Professor Reid." The attendant brought in a thin, white-haired old man, evidently the wreck of a once noted pugilist who had died out of the fighting world. He was bound hand and foot, so that it was impossible for him to defend himself.

...sound the sheathing in my room to ascertain the possibility of one being secreted behind it; how expectantly did I wait for the unceremonious entrance of one through my window. Many students have grown to consider them as their Penates, and look with disgust upon the destroying hands of the Goths and Vandals, namely, the College Carpenter, and a dealer in second-hand goods, who never leaves anything in a room the furniture of which he has purchased, but the paper on the wall.
