...Philadelphia 13 to 9. However Harvard had no difficulty in hitting him, whether on account of his change of style or their own improvement is a question. His pitching at the first of the season was mostly a high ball with a drop, but yesterday hardly a ball was higher than the man's waist. Bayne certainly had the poorest kind of support from his own nine, all of their errors being inexcusable...

The undergraduate department is more in a position which the economists might call "the stationary state;" the system of undergraduate education has been worked out until there is less left to be done than in the higher departments of study. In the graduate school there is more room for progress.

Were it not for this generous aid which Harvard is able to hold out, many of those who now reap the great advantages which the university offers in the way of higher education would have to give up their dream of scholarship and content themselves with the education they received in college. It is needless to point out what a difference this would make in the education of a large part of the country. When it is considered that the great number...
