This was our third game with Princeton, and, as she was defeated in both the former games, a like result was looked for in this one. Our men, however, had to cope with a remarkably strong Nine, flushed with their victory of 10 to 9 over Yale, and anxious to hang the Harvard scalp in the New Jersey wigwam. Our Nine, owing in part to their crippled condition, but principally to their traditional weak batting, was hardly equal to the occasion. The game was an exciting one, and the score, 3 to 1, was, we believe, the smallest ever made...
...beside frightening the enemy from stealing second base, could not change the current of luck, which seemed setting in, in favor of Yale. At the beginning of the last inning we stood two runs ahead, and failed to score; Yale came to the bat in good spirits, while our men showed a nervousness which they rarely exhibit in the field.

How different from people in the last century, who perused their Clarissa Harlowe, Rape of the Lock, Pilgrim's Progress, and Shakespeare till they almost knew them by heart, and thoroughly understood and appreciated much that was in them! Would it not be better if we, in our day, could only bring ourselves to give up the one thousand...
...them: this applies very forcibly to the Faculty of the University, whose advice about a plan of study for next year confesses the weakness in the Elective System, while it strives to remedy it. Their suggestions should certainly be received with some consideration by us, as the opinion of men whose desire it is that we should leave college with minds not narrowed by prejudice or conceit, and yet ready to do some especial work, and do it well and worthily of Harvard...
