...University baseball team got together admirably yesterday afternoon and shut out Brown, '4 to 0. The determination that wins was in evidence throughout the game, and an excellent beginning was made in the first three innings, when all the runs were scored. The ability to hit when hits meant runs was perhaps the most encouraging feature of the game, while the sacrifice hitting was far better than has been exhibited this season. McCall secured no less than three clever bunts and Currier two. The base-running was also about all that could be desired. Although only six hits were made...
...Harris, one of the foremost bankers of Chicago, and a trustee of Northwestern University, with the purpose "to stimulate scientific research of the highest type and bring the results before the students and friends of Northwestern University, and, through them, to all the world." By scientific research, is meant "scholarly investigation into any department of human thought or effort." Last year the lectures were delivered by Professor Borden P. Bowne, of the department of philosophy at Boston University since...
...somewhat scrappy criticism of the individual members of the basketball team, the other narrates rapidly the history of hockey, with special reference to Harvard, and comments on our prospects for the present season, Mr. E. K. Adams's article on "The 'Outside' Papers of Harvard," a term meant to include all the College periodicals except the five undergraduate papers, gives interesting information on a subject probably little known to undergraduates. Variety and relief are gained by an amusing ghost story by Mr. H. B. Sheahan. On the whole, the issue, though somewhat perfunctory in tone and journalistic in style...
Attention is called to the three silver cups offered by W. Minot '07 for "general merit." By this is meant regularity of attendance, amount of improvement, diligence and general attitude towards the work. The winners of the caps are to be picked one each from the pole-vault or high-jump, shot-put or hammer-throw, and from the hurdle events...
...have in the forthcoming number of the Advocate two stories of the woods, both readable, but neither excellent; two sea-stories by H. V. Morgan '10, the second of which, "The Unknown Seas," is written with distinct artistic truth. The last sentence, presumably meant to mitigate the horror, means nothing. There is also, by A. E. Manheimer, '09, one football story which is a rather vague attempt at character drawing. The two bits of verse are not noteworthy. The articles deserving of comment are the Editorial and Varied Outlooks. The first draws its theme from Mr. Wister's remarks...
