...head is beautifully proportioned, and the face has the regular Grecian features. With the exception of the back of the neck, it is in a perfect state of preservation. It is of a later date than the Meleager, the other piece of original sculpture in the Museum, but no definite conclusion has as yet been reached as to its exact...
...bases well, though two men were caught trying to steal second. The feature of the game was Reid's allround play. His home run brought in three others in the eighth inning, and his single made it possible for Kendall to score in the first. He gave Stillman perfect support, threw well to second, and in the third inning made a remarkable double play by catching Steinwender's foul near the backstop and throwing to second in time to retire Watkins. Devens hit the ball hard every time he came to bat, but was twice put out by the good...
Special efforts will be made next fall to increase the value of the furniture loan system by thoroughly overhauling the sets and putting them in perfect repair. When this has been done there will be fifty-one complete sets of oak furniture for which students may apply; and, in addition to these, partial sets now used by about twenty men will be offered. Each lot of furniture is sufficient for a study and bedroom. A rental of $7.50 for the year is charged, but of this sum $2.50 is refunded at the end of the term, provided that the pieces...

The feature of the game was Lowry's brilliant batting for a score of 114, not out, probably the first century ever made for Harvard.

Bradley's bowling was excellent, considering the fact that the wicket was distinctly favorable to the batsman...
...Company," by F. R. DuBois, is out of the ordinary run, and after the writer once gets started, the story moves easily, needing no effort on the reader's part. "Sammie Bent's Stripes," by Frank Simonds, is nothing more than an anecdote, but it is well told, with perfect harmony of detail. "Hunting," by J. C. Grew, is a commendable attempt at word-painting. "Merton," by C. F. C. Arensberg, lacks pith and distinct purpose. It starts as a college story and finishes with two summer jilts. "My dug out," by Lyrian Alcis," has a very suitable rhythm...
