...carry it a long way toward victory. The loud and tireless cheering for good plays was the best feature of yesterday's enthusiasm. There were one or two respects in which the spectators went a little too far, as in collecting behind a baseman and beating drums with the obvious intention of rattling him, and in making so much noise that a base-runner could not hear the coaching. Everything, however, was done in a spirit of friendly, not bitter, rivalry, which if it can only be maintained, will be of the greatest benefit to base ball at Harvard...
Nowhere is the truth of Professor Wright's candid statement more obvious than at Harvard. There is really no chance here for a student to become thoroughly acquainted with the sum of Greek and Latin literature before graduation. During the first two years, as is right, he is confined to a minute study of a limited number of works with due deference to grammar. But during the last two years, instead of having an opportunity to widen his personal knowledge of Greek plays or of Latin poetry, he is obliged to devote his energies to text criticism and details...

Our graduates are not so active, so loyal, as those of the rival by whom we instinctively measure ourselves. And above all, the Harvard clubs, which should be centers for enthusiastic missionary work, have too often come to mean nothing more...
...small amount of prescribed work in the four years' course at Harvard would satisfy the most ardent advocates of the elective system if the prescribed studies fulfilled their object. Yet for some very obvious lessons the freshman lectures in physics and chemistry might be replaced by much more useful work. Until recently the lectures in physics have been a mere farce, inasmuch as they covered ground already gone over by students in pre paring for college, so that any one, without attending a single lecture, could by reviewing a few back papers, pass a good examination. The chemistry lectures have...
