Whether the pennant will remain with us or not, we should all feel that whatever success has been gained is the result of earnest labor. Every man on the nine has worked for all he was worth. This is shown in the marked improvement since the beginning of the season. Whatever may be said in the event of our defeat, it is not true that Harvard has a worse, but that Yale and Princeton have...

It is a pity that Harvard should be represented on the crease in the way she has been...
...interests of society by withdrawing women from domestic life. The first subject undertaken by the Eastern Association was an inquiry into the effect of collegiate education upon the physical condition of women. Elaborate statistics were collected by the Association, and afterwards compiled by the Massachusetts Bureau of Statistics of Labor. It was the wish of those engaged in the work that these facts should speak for themselves, and the general attention that has been called to them, and the conclusions derived from them by the thinking public, they feel have not been unfavorable to the cause...
