...analyze our position: We have two debating societies, the Harvard Union, reorganized last year for the purpose of maintaining a high standard of debating; and the Wendell Phillips Club, organized to afford practice and social intercourse to its members, who need have only ordinary ability for speaking. The latter club has, however, a large proportion of the very best speakers in the University, who approved of its policy and sided with it. Owing to unfortunate circumstances, an antagonism exists between the two clubs, although the individual members are on terms of cordiality. This division of interests, and especially this antagonism...
...merely individuality, but individuality acting with force and steadiness in a given direction. Perhaps among all literary men Dante is the highest type of this. In modern times, Voltaire (with all his weaknesses) and Lessing, and among living men Carlyle and Emerson, are examples of the same thing. This need not and does not, you will observe, imply any absolute originality, if indeed there be such a thing. Freedom of thought is deeply indebted to Voltaire, and German unity, the process of which is going on under our very eyes, one of the most important and far-reaching events...
Twenty-three men are left in the freshman baseball squad. At present, the team is in great need of a regular coach. Paine '94 takes charge of the coaching as often as he can be spared from the 'varsity, but when there is no one on the field in charge, the practice is apt to be listless and poor.

In addition to these there are eight men playing with the 'varsity. With constant coaching...
...regard to the disposition of the grandstands, we are heartily in favor of having them moved to Holmes rather than to Soldiers Field. The cost of removal would be less, and both fields need grandstands. Those on Holmes are old, rickety, much repaired, and must soon be torn down. The stands at present on Jarvis would make an excellent substitute and would probably last as long as the field can be devoted to athletics. With Soldiers Field, the conditions are different. There grandstands of the first order ought to be erected. We think that much better ones even than those...
...class teams, the freshman are of course the most important and need the most money. The football team last fall left a debt outstanding of about one hundred and seventy-five dollars; this the nine and crew ought to pay besides their own expenses. Now the manager of the nine has decided not to ask for any subscriptions whatsoever, but to rely wholly on the receipts of games. The crew, therefore, is the only organization which will ask for support. Since the nine will leave the field of subscriptions wholly clear for the crew, the football debt ought, in justice...
