...initiated a custom which bids fair to become permanent. Last year the "amateur championship" in base-ball was instituted, and for the first time in the history of the college definite regulations were drawn up to govern the contest. Although the whole affair was started as an experiment, it met with marked success, and the Base-Ball Association has recognized the value of the training obtained, having modelled the series of this year upon the lines of that instituted by the CRIMSON last spring. The fact that such a contest was needed is shown pretty clearly by the entries...
...Conference Committee met yesterday, and confered. The attendance was small, and the business transacted was of little importance, although subjects of deepest interest were brought up for discussion. The resolution regarding the maintenance of good order in the yard is the only thing that, as far as we can see, gives the meeting of yesterday any value.

But our call for expressions of opinion has met with a very unsatisfactory response. One of our correspondents, in the CRIMSON for March 29 exclaims: "Why publish disquisitions in your columns on the evils of cribbing and the status of that art at Harvard? Why drag this disgusting subject to the light, and care fully analyze it and pick...
...merry chorus from some small knot of men lying lazily on the grass, nor was it thought a source of wonder if the Glee Club gathered on the steps of Holworthy or Matthews, and gave an hour to the entertainment of the college, - an act of kindness which met with all due appreciation, as was well shown by the cries of "more," "more," with which all such efforts were greeted. Why not, then, have a "revival" at Harvard? No more favorable time can be found than the coming weeks. Let to-night bring with it vox in tenebris...
