...should be very sorry to have Amherst come into the field next spring with a poorly supported nine. For a series of defeats will very likely result in Amherst's withdrawing from the league. Few students care to spend their money during a series of years for the pleasure of seeing their team beaten. In former years Amherst has often come out of her base-ball contests very near the top. And the games with her have almost always been very interesting. It would take away much of the present excitement over base-ball to have Amherst leave the league...
...recent issue of one of the daily papers of Boston, a prominent professor in the classical department of the university, published an appeal for money to support the American School at Athens. For years we have heard from all sides in answer to our re-current plea for various improvements in the college buildings, the cry of "no money." And "no money" it will doubtless be, until Gore Hall falls a mass of ruins upon the spot which it has failed to enlighten.

Harvard is a place where, in point of wealth, the extremes meet, and that is just what the governing authorities intend it should be. To the young man with money, that he doesn't know what to do with, every opportunity is afforded of spending it. The tuition fee is high, and expensive board and rooms may be easily obtained. And if the wealthy man still finds money burning in his pocket, why the street cars will take him to Boston...
...fifth swelling the total so that the average for all is double the amount spent by each of four of them. While it is undoubtedly true that the proportion of rich youth to the whole number is larger than it used to be, and that they spend money more profusely than the rich youth did a quarter of a century ago, the necessary expenses of a college course have certainly not increased in any such ratio. Indeed, of late years the cost of board at New Haven and Cambridge has been reduced, and the co-operative principle has been applied...
