...good players of the college, and moreover there will hardly be room enough for more than three nines to practise on Holmes and Jarvis fields. This is much to be regretted, for class games would be of great value in bringing out new men and in keeping up a live interest in base-ball. Still these ends can in some degree be accomplished by games in the fall, and many of the advantages looked for from class nines will come through forming the second nine...
...undeniably absurd, it seems to me, has hardly been called into view by the recent discussions in the Nation and other papers. Why is it that the principle of compulsory attendance is made to apply in some cases while in others it is altogether evaded? Why are those who live in or near Boston and who reside at home excused from attendance at church and in most cases from chapel, while those who come from more distant quarters, whatever may be the expressed wishes of themselves and their parents in the matter, are compelled to attend chapel and church without...
...yard has suggested that the students practice placing and running them up. The idea is a good one since the ladders are rather complicated machines which could not be properly handled without previous practice, and since, moreover, Mr. Knapp and Mr. Eveleth, who understand the management, both live some little distance from the yard.

...gain glory by the strength of their students' muscles, and virtue by betting and drinking? Is the athletic contest before a miscellaneous crowd the best way to develop mental culture and moral health? Is it not even a very poor method of ministering to bodily soundness? Do athletes live long? Let medical men answer. I am ashamed to argue such a question. The whole business is demoralizing and directly inimical to the objects of a collegiate institution. Roughness, vulgarity, and the disgusting pretentiousness of Young America are the common results of the system. Let the college campus be the playground...
...four students. Each reception room is furnished with a stationary book-case. The work on the rooms and smaller doors is an imitation of cherry, and with the white walls makes a very neat contrast. In the basement are six rooms for the janitor's use, where he will live. Hot and cold water, stationary book-cases and cherry finishings are luxuries for which the students of Harvard sigh, but sigh in vain. A Spartan lot is ours...
