President Lowell's splendid address on "Competition in College" has turned the attention of every thinking Harvard man to some dangers of our elective system. The more we recognize these disadvantages, the more we ought to look-out that the system does not become burdened by new and superfluous dangers. I am sorry to see that a new harm connected with the election of courses is threatening in consequence of the postal card canvass of the Seniors which the Harvard Illustrated Magazine instituted and published the week before last...
...situation. A rule that persons qualifying under the present regulations should complete the requirements in three years, while four-year residents should be obliged to take a degree with distinction or fail, would remove most of the difficulties, provided that degree were brought within the reach of the average man after four years' moderate work. Such an innovation would certainly tend to heighten the intellectual standard of the entire College.

Williams started out well in the first inning, when the first man up hit over second base and the next man sacrificed.

Lambie then struck out, but Shons was safe on Simons's low throw to Brown...

Williams was prevented from scoring in the tenth and eleventh innings by good throws from Harvey and Dana. In the twelfth and thirteenth innings the tide turned in favor of the University team. Both times Williams failed to get a man to first. In the tenth Aronson astonished the Williams fielders by bunting down the third-base line. The Pitcher and third-baseman watched the ball in amazement and made no attempt to field it. Aronson stole second, and after Simons had sent a fly to right field, Dana was passed. Another inning was made necessary, however, as Crocker struck...
