Secondly, hire some professional base ball trainer for the nine, or at least allow the nine to play with professionals. We have a profess ional trainer for track athletics-the only sport in which Harvard has been almost uniformly successful-why not have one for base-ball? The secrecy which has surrounded the actions of our base-ball teams of late has insidiously brought about many abuses which only openness and frankness in the matter can eradicate...
...nothing but a deliberate attempt on the part of a few members of the University-we are glad to believe they are few-to show how foolish and how mean a spectacle they can make of themselves. Public intoxication on the part of those who do not profess to be gentlemen is strongly condemned-what shall we say of those who do profess to be such, and who usually desire the title, if they stoop to the level of common rioters in the public streets?

Consequently every one, unless he be a veritable pessimist, must rejoice at the success which the voluntary system...
...recent exchanges, in a somewhat extended notice of the Harvard publications, has taken occasion to sneer at one of our papers, and show by invidious comparisons that our publications are not what they profess to be. While we do not desire to question the taste of the writer of such a criticism, we still feel that the courtesy of the press ought to have influenced the expression. The kindly feeling which has long existed between the various college papers, cannot easily be destroyed by criticisms of such a nature, but more pleasant relations will result in the future...
