...been found at the indolent way in which members of the freshman class respond to calls made upon them by their college and class organizations. A short time ago freshmen with good voices were asked to try for the 'varsity glee club. Either from an inherent modesty or from pure laziness and selfishness, but very few freshmen paid any attention to the the appeal. Now a freshman banjo club is in progress of formation and the members of '92 still persist in refusing to bestir themselves. Class feeling and class pride, in so far as to equal if not excel...
...increased number of men who have returned this year for post-graduate studies Harvard has cause for self-congratulation. There can be no comment more favorable to the intellectual status of a college than the fact that, after the fascination in college life pure and simple has passed away at their graduation, the alumni return either to the Law School, the Medical School, or for advanced study in the Graduate Department.

The field work of both nines was good, Princeton excelling in this respect. The visitors could do nothing with Bates, eleven men striking out and two only reaching first on safe hits. The umpiring of McLean was a trille erratic, his decisions on strikes being somewhat...
...Hale announced in chapel that the morning exercises for the next three weeks would follow the course which he roughly blocked out in his sermon on Sunday evening. The Divine Law for human life requires, first, personal purity. "The wisdom from above is first pure." For three or four days the service will follow the special instructions for bodily training. The wisdom from above is next peaceable, gentle and easy to be entreated. The instructions for Christian living, the habits of a gentle man follow on those for physical training. Lastly and chiefly, Christian ethics require active work and good...
