...wish of the captain to choose the men as soon as possible in order that they may accustom themselves to each other. Pulls will then be arranged with as strong teams as can be found, and possibly a second 'varsity team will be formed and kept in regular training with the first team. The following men at present compose the team; Grew, number one; Ewald, number two; Anderson, number three; Higgins, anchor...
Harvard played the Phillips Andover Academy team yesterday afternoon on Holmes field and won in a fairly well-played game. Andover has a very good team this year-much better than the average preparatory school nines. Stearns kept Harvard down well as regards hits, but he was wild in his delivery and gave eight bases on balls.

The truths of the New Testament are not always before us; we do not realize that we may be in the best of health...
...possible it is difficult to understand their motives. Men who come here from a great distance, do not go home at all during the year and are naturally anxious to leave as soon as possible. Any unnecessal delay is unjust to them. It is particularly irksome to be kept by a course so unimportant comparatively as English C. English D is given a place near the beginning. and there is no reason, so far as we can see, why English C could not come the same day. There would be no conflict, for no other courses come on that...
