...MATCH game of base-ball was played on Jarvis Field on Monday last, between two Junior Nines, one selected from Brown's Club Table, and the other from Bixby's. The game was full of interest and excitement, and showed much individual good play. It was called at the end of the seventh inning, when the score stood: Bixby, 10; Brown, 7. Mr. C. T. Tyler was captain of the former, and Mr. H. H. Crocker of the latter Nine...
...GEORGE S. SILSBEE, stroke of the Junior crew, recently had the misfortune to dislocate his arm, which accident rendered it necessary for him to withdraw for a time from College. It is very much to be regretted that he will be unable to fill his place in the crew when he returns. The Freshman crew have sustained a similar loss in A. B. Twombly, whose position in the boat was No. 3. It was not ascertained in precisely what part of his body he was injured, but it was supposed that a cord or tendon had been strained...
...Sophomore and Junior years there are certain required studies to which professors are assigned by the Faculty. To have these instructors elected by the students would, of course, be absurd, and is too illusory a hope to be cherished a moment in the undergraduate mind.

They, therefore, ought to take pains to insure to every graduate more than a mere smattering. Everybody allows that such instructors as are appointed to have charge of these studies should consult...
...coming to a close on the day of the Regatta, will furnish another attraction for Springfield that week, while the large number that will attend insures all the clubs against pecuniary loss. Though the Freshman Nine is, as yet, far from organized, they played a game with the Boston Juniors on Fast day and showed much individual good play. The defeat on that occasion may perhaps be excused when we consider Captain Perry's accident, and the fact that the composition of the Nine on that occasion was more the result of chance than selection. But energy in base-ball...
...that the candidates examined at Yale were more poorly prepared"; and he furthermore adds, "A young man" [a single example only is cited] "was refused admission to the Sophomore class at Yale for deficiency of preparation. He went directly to Harvard College, offered himself as a candidate for the Junior class there, and was admitted." There is more truth, perhaps, in the first of these quotations than the author supposes. For how would he explain the notorious fact that nearly every year many candidates for admission to the Freshman class at Harvard who are rejected, apply to Yale, pass their...
