...wish to call the attention of the base ball management to the fact that last year's junior team which won the championship in the class series, has failed to receive cups or any recognition of its efforts whatever. It this oversight is the result of lack of funds on the part of the base ball management, we have nothing more to say, but if it proceeds from pure thoughtlessness, it is obvious that the error should be corrected at once. The junior team of last year made a most creditable showing, wining every game it played. Its efforts should...

...work of this orchestra is well known and we are fortunately able to hear them very often by attending the weekly concerts in Boston. But there are undoubtedly many men in college who do not hear any of the concerts in Boston, and from oversight or indifference do not go to any of the concerts in Cambridge.

The oversight and introduction of new people in a library is a disadvantage to that library, as interfering with its work, which few head librarians are willing to encounter unless it is necessary to recruit the library staff. Hence a special department has been instituted at Columbia College in New York, called the school of "Library Economy" which is under the direction of Melville Dewey, the secretary of the American Library Association.

...perceive clearly the line of thought which is being carried on in a mind other than one's own. We do not believe that our correspondent possesses this insight. If a year ago the seeds of the evil which is now being reaped were sown, it is the oversight not the complicity of the CRIMSON which is to blame, that those seeds were allowed to flourish unheeded.
