...Nichols '86 spoke strongly against summer baseball. He said that he held no serious objection to boys playing for money but that if they do they should not be permitted to play on college teams. He thought it right, however, to play ball temporarily in order to earn money toward a college education. He pointed out that the longer a man plays baseball the less fitted for a business or professional life he becomes. The temperament that makes a man a good ball-player generally makes him a poor business...
...wish to express our appreciation of the highly gratifying manner in which the College has responded to the recent appeal for payment of Gymnasium pledges, and at the same time strongly urge those members of the three upper classes who have so far been unable to pledge any money, to take the present opportunity of doing so.

At the present time J. J. Cronin '16 leads the first sub-committee, A. Dixon '16 the second, W. C. Boyden '16 the third, and C. C. Lund '16 the fourth. The highest man in the competition is W. C. Boyden...
...committees is just the one to bring its purpose to completion. The task which it has in hand is not an easy one, for besides the taking of pledges it involves the tiresome work of collecting them when due and the infinite detail of keeping accurate account of the money received. Sub-committees large enough to make the work light for each member are the best means for success. We hope to see the work go on with the zeal which it deserves. Then, it is only a question of time before it will be finished...
