...University of Nebraska have challenged the faculty to a match game of base-ball. The faculty accepted. If athletics are to be restricted among the undergraduates, it certainly is the duty of the various faculties to take part in order to keep up the interest in them. Harvard students might be reconciled to the recommendation of the overseers, if our faculty would follow this example...
...should never have been relaxed. With the score standing seven to nothing up to the fifth inning. any attempts to explain the loss of the game satisfactorily cannot but be ignored. Some of the errors may have been excusable, owing to the slipperiness of the ball, but the freshmen might at least have been expected to do as well as their opponents, as the conditions were equally unfavorable to each side.

Men with these placards fastened to the ends of long poles paraded the grounds, ringing bells and acting about as childishly as boys in their kindergartens might be expected to do. During the game the spectators applauded and yelled with delight...
