...after whitewashing our nine the Live Oaks scored five unearned runs on errors of Leeds, Thatcher, and Tyng. The next two innings added nothing to our score and one to that of our opponents. In the eighth it looked as if we might win. Leeds and Wright led off with base hits, Dow followed with a slow grounder towards third, which the pitcher threw over the first-base man's head, letting in Leeds and Wright and sending Dow to third. Ernst then struck a grounder to the short-stop, who threw it to first in time...
...lost the toss, and Leeds led off with a fine base-hit to right field, stole second base, and was left there. For the Bostons, Wright got his first on called balls, stole his second, and came home on a passed ball. In the second inning Thayer made a hard base-hit, and scored his run before the third man was out. The Bostons failed to score in this inning. Leeds again led off, getting his first by an error of short-stop, and getting home by a base-hit of Dow's. This inning ended the run-getting...

Among the participants in this annual rush, the Freshmen have always been prominent. Their youthful enthusiasm has led them to run about, and to fight, and to cheer with an ardor which left the other classes far behind. And if the Freshmen are excluded this year the exercises will lose half their point and half their spirit. It would seem, then, very undesirable to exclude them...
...liberal tone of these speeches led a Southern gentleman, a member of the class of '33, to write to the Nation, pointing out that it would be but consistent with this principle to put up tablets in Memorial Hall to Harvard graduates who had fallen on the Confederate side also. The Nation replied, though indorsing the ground taken by Judge Devens and General Bartlett, "To put up tablets .... to persons whom its builders do not reverence or love - i.e. the Southern dead - would be a kind of absurdity difficult to describe, if it were not an act of hypocrisy...
