...base-ball captain has had the freshmen come out and practice, and what is the result? A pitcher has been found that promises to be superior to Stagg. Yale does not need a pitcher, Harvard does, but Harvard is waiting for the pitcher to come all developed. Yale is bringing out the raw material and developing it. In the Mott Haven team, Yale has been bringing out the strength of the freshman class and has already some good athletes who promise to help bring the cup if Harvard does not arise and work. Nothing comes without work, so either...
...know that never before has Harvard been in such urgent need of men. We have lost Rogers, Clarke, Bemis and Easton; and thus far we have looked in vain for men who can fully take their places. Yet I firmly believe that such men, at least that winners enough to bring back the cup, are right here in college. In this connection an extract from the Yale News in four columns of Monday, is extremely significant.

These informal receptions are what we need here to bring student and professor into closer contact than can be got through the medium of the lecture room. They tend to bridge over the gap which lies between the instructor and his pupils. It is unfortunate that in the case of Prof. Norton, the date fixed for the reception comes at a time when...
...whose enthusiasm, so intense at first, now seems to be ending in a feeble cloud of smoke. Up to the present time, the career of '91 has given promise of a brilliant future, but if its idea of showing appreciation for athletic victories is to repudiate its debts, it need not be surprised to fine a lack of vigor and energy in the work of both nine and crew. Men who can afford to strut about the college yard smoking Turkish cigarettes and expensive tobacco in handsome meerschaums, bragging of their eleven (the "finest), ought certainly to have the self...
