...Holmes Field, formed there from the melting snow, and if the field were overflowed there could be skating there the greater part of the winter. But if the baseball management or college authorities object to this why could it not be done to Norton's Field? It is much larger, there is no grass to hurt, and it would take comparatively little money to have it made to hold water, and indeed there is always quite a large amount of water after every rain. This would have a great advantage over the ponds around Cambridge, as it would be much...
...Boston, conducted the services at Appleton Chapel last evening. He took for his text the 27th verse of the first chapter of St. Mark's gospel: "What new doctrine is this?" It has been thought by a great many people that the doctrines of Christianity are new, but much that is noble is to be found in other religions. It is not a name, but a principle, that inspires people in religion.

...concludes: "At any-rate whatever happens-since Harvard has taken a certain course we think men ought not to make fun of it but defend it, and bear in mind the words of Mr. Bacon, 'Harvard, may she always be right, but Harvard, right or wrong.'

Dr. Abbott gives an account of his experience at Harvard, and shows that he received a very favorable impression of the college. He says that the average attendance at chapel during his stay was about three hundred, and that over fifty men visited him at Wadsworth House. He concludes that "this is pre-eminently a religious age, and especially thoughtful young men are thinking...
...game has this year been comparatively free form slugging, and it may be doubted whether with a competent umpire this disagreeable feature would be any more characteristic of the game as played this year than as played in previous years. It is also true that interference has added much to the interest of the game from a spectator's standpoint, and a great many real lovers of the game would be sorry to see it forbidden. There is one species of offside play, however, which we will all agree should be abolished, and that is interference with the ball while...
