...which the money was collected. Not a cent has been spent on the pleasure of the men, and the statement that the nine is to view the races at the expense of the class is new to me, and certainly no sane person would accredit so ridiculous an idea. I have encountered none of the "bitter feeling" which "'90" states as existing and I doubt if any such exists. The statement that the crew are in need of money is rather stretched, as I know for a fact that the class has subscribed most generously to it, the amount from...
...from Bergen Point visited the faculty in New Haven. The object of the visit, of course, was to get the consent of the faculty to Stagg's becoming a member of the Bergen Point team. This was readily gained, but Captain Dann at first was much opposed to the idea of Stagg's leaving the team. Yale's popular and plucky catcher, however, saw that if Stagg became a member of the Bergen Point nine the college would not suffer as much as if he accepted a professional offer, and gracefully consented to the change. Stagg and Dann, without doubt...
...decision in time to row this year? It is beginning to be suggested that she will not, even if a challenge were received within a few days there will be none too much time for all arrangements to be made for a September race, and, therefore, the idea of seeing the contest this year is dying out gradually.

...about the sovereignty of the States that ratified the constitution, their stand in seceding would be justifiable. The paper is well worth a careful perusal, as it throws much new light on this well-worn theme. "Nature's Poem" is a delicate bit of verse, and expresses a pretty idea in highly artistic form. Mr. Palmer has also added much interest to this number by a well-written sketch of Ben Johnson's life works. Mr. Carman's "Willow Buds" appears to be a little labored, and lacks naturalness. The most remarkable piece of writing in this number...
...active interest taken in base-ball this year is something remarkable and unexpected. The class ball games, which have been rather a failure of late years, were given up this spring, and their place has been supplied in a somewhat novel way. The Consolidated nine was formed with the idea of giving practice to the University and Freshman nines. The success which has attended it has led to the formation of another organization on a similar basis, under the name of the "Reserve" nine. The scheme is now being considered of forming a league, consisting of the Consolidated, the Reserves...
