...have laid much stress. In modern times, to us the most famous rebellion resulting from an abusive system of taxation is of course our colonial revolution, and in France the unendurable taxes from the time of Louis the fourteenth to the year 1789 forced the people to such a pitch of frenzy that the heroes they committed seem almost justified. Six thousand nobles and gentry fell by the guillotine, and yet when one considers the multitudes that these nobles had been starving to death by taxation for a thousand years, the clemency that the masses showed in their hour...
...Lockhart, of the Law School. The uniforms are similar to those of last year. Calboun will play second base, McBride first, and Owsley third; McClung, shortstop; Cushing, Dalzell and McClintock in the outfield, and Bowers, Sturtevant, and Poole will catch. It is tolerably certain that Stagg will pitch...

Of these men, Brokaw has caught, Young pitched, and Dana, Knickerbocker, Watts, Durell, and Payne played on the nine before. Although the number of new men is large, since Osburn has left college and Ames is not likely to pitch, the prospect is not very bright, but it is thought that good hard work during the winter...
