...early at present to express an opinion on 90's athletic abilities, but surely time enough has elapsed to show that the freshman class has not distinguished itself by a dazzling brilliancy in the literary line. No college paper has yet received a sufficient number of good contributions from any member of '90 to warrant his election to the editorial board.

Amherst had one great drawback - that among her alumni there were not wealthy men, as there were among the alumni associations of other colleges...
There is cause for great congratulation that the College Base-ball League has been formed. The movement for an improvement in college base-ball has been favored by us from the first and our opinion was but one in many. Every lover of the national game must read the account published on our first page to-day with satisfaction and delight. Hereafter there will be no doubt about the best nine in the League. Four games with each club will settle the superiority, if there is any to be settled. Our friends in New York will not be able...
