...number. The opening essay written by Mr. F. G. Peabody and entitled "Religion in a University" is very opportune. It is a frank statement of Harvard on the question of voluntary and compulsory attendance at religious services. The essay is forcible, directly to the point, and convincing. It reads like a final statement of the matter, and we hope that it will meet the eyes of those who have been hasty in condemning what they have called the over-haste of Harvard towards liberalism. A short extract is contributed by Dr. Hale from his forthcoming volume on "Franklin in France...
...Base-Ball Association has, as yet, taken no action towards arranging for the "amateur championship" games. There are many men in college who like to play base-ball, but who cannot play well enough to try for the 'varsity or class nines.

There will be enough nines to make an interesting contest for first place...

...Board of Overseers have at last taken action upon the majority and minority reports made by the Committee. Their action seems to us in the highest degree narrow-minded, and marks a strong check to the liberal tendency which should prevail in a great university like Harvard. Their recommendation amounts, in substance, to simply this: To prohibit all freshman intercollegiate contests in baseball, football, rowing and lacrosse; to allow none but University teams to engage in intercollegiate contests, and those only with Yale and minor New England college, thus barring out Columbia, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania and others...
