...students. Those who attend them are excessively excited, and are peculiarly exposed to the temptations of a great city. The influence is mischievous and distinctly unfavorable to regular work. The desire for victory is so strong that professional methods creep in, and disputes and charges of trickery constantly occur.

It has ceased to be merely a local organization in distinction to the other teams which form parts of inter-collegiate associations, and a decided innovation in this respect will occur when the cricket eleven meets the University of Pennsylvania on Holmes Field next June. If one or two more colleges could be induced to devote some attention to this invigorating sport, there is no reason why a championship series could not be begun-one which would attract the universal interest...
