...task is to honor and help them. "To you, students of Harvard University, because I shall never see you again, I shall speak these words of hope, encouragement, inspiration. Can you sacrifice pleasure and success to duty. Have you faith? If you have it, however small, you can move mountains. By faith Columbus, Washington, Channing, Garrison, Lincoln, lived their great and useful lives. America needs a new enthusiasm and calls on you, the trustees of her prosperity for it. Cleanse her politics, elevate society, defy the arrogance of public opinion. Will you leave the world better for living...
...notably those at Andover and Exeter, are agitating the question of forming an "Interscholastic Base-Ball League." The league is designed to include Phillips, Exeter, Phillips Andover, St. Pauls, St. Marks, and Adams Academies and the Boston Latin School. To those interested in base-ball in the colleges, no move could be more welcome than this; for it would mean a redoubled interest in base-ball for the preparatory schools, which would necessarily result in an excellence hitherto unknown.

Acknowledging this courtesy, '85 gives three more cheers for the freshmen, who doff their hats and move on to the junior fence, where the same scenes are repeated. As they round the corner of Elm street and halt opposite the sophomore fence, their impatience increases, and scarcely has the final cheer been given when the word "Break ranks," is heard, and an indiscriminate rush for their precious fence ensues...
...spring a return will be made to sixes in the class races, on the ground that enough good men cannot be had for an eight. It is likely, too, that an eight-oared race between the Yale and Harvard freshmen will be arranged. This would be a decidedly good move and could not fail of advantageous results. The boating outlook cannot be said to be promising, but judicious management and conscientious work may compensate for lack of material and experience. Of last year's crew there are now in college Cowles, Peters and Paton. Appleton, '86, substitute last year...
