...LeMoyne, Hubbard and T. J. Coolidge, was appointed to draw up suitable resolutions on the death of Mr. Lovering. The president of the class, Mr. Coolidge, said that he wished to speak of the kind expressions of members of the faculty on Mr. Lovering's death. Prof. Shaler in particular, saying that he considered him one of the most promising young men whom he had met with in the college for the past twenty-four years, the time of his instruction here...

Some of the men certainly do need to show a little more life in moving from one bag to another. In all the champion nines of last year, the men were conspicuous for their swift base running. More, the men were carefully coached while on bases, from the time they reached first until they had crossed the home plate again. No chance to gain a point was allowed to escape the notice...
