...Elocution during the current academic year and during the absence of Professor Baxter. A proposal to present from the estate of the late Geo. O. Hovey, Esq., the sum of $5,000 to the Harvard Medical School, provided "its advantages can be offered to women on equal terms with men," was referred to the following committee: Alex. Agassiz, Esq., President Eliot, Morrill Wyman, M. D., J. Elliot Cabot, Esq., and Le Baron Russell...
...this game both nines showed improvement in batting and fielding. Our Nine only offered one chance to be put out behind the bat, while twelve men struck out off Ernst's pitching. Tyng, Latham, Wright, and Nunn played best in the field. Howe and Latham led at the bat. Wright maintained his well-earned reputation for sacrifice hitting, - a skilful play, which appears to be totally unappreciated by spectators. The game was played on the Boston Grounds, and resulted in a college victory by the score...
...seemed to advocate violent measures for compelling those who like it to devote themselves to rowing instead! Granting that playing lawn-tennis is not violent exercise, and is not a manly sport, which seems to be your correspondent's opinion, only makes it more improbable that it diverts any men from rowing, as those who play it would be weak and effeminate; but we do not grant that it is unmanly, unless unmanliness consists in using skill as well as strength.

The Cornell men have not yet been on the water, and for the last week or so they have hardly trained at all, being apparently satisfied, by what they saw in our papers, that they would either gain an easy victory or not have to row. Their weights, as printed in the Advocate, gave a somewhat false impression, as they were all weighed in their clothes. All this certainly ought to cheer...
...seems, however, that the Cornell men are quite determined to-row nowhere but at Saratoga. The Era of April 12 seems to consider, very naturally, that the race is "off." Once again we urge the Freshmen to meet the consequences of their want of prudence boldly, and consent to row at Saratoga. Of course individuals are to blame for causing a hasty and ill-considered challenge to be sent, but the whole class is responsible for the result. Whatever means they may take to punish their evil counsellors, they cannot honorably escape the consequences of following bad advice...
