Boston University is bringing up a veteran nine composed of all letter men and will try to repeat their 10-8 victory of last year. Both teams have been held up by the late spring and Coach Mitchell was further handicapped by the temporary loss of Nevin and Gleason by injuries. Gleason seems to have come along faster than Nevin, whose arm still bothers him. Because of Nevin's hitting ability Mitchell has been trying him out at almost every position on the team, and is sure to find a spot for him on Wednesday. The former catcher was hitting...
Whatever may happen, however, there is a great deal of food for thought. To feel that persons close to the government are filled with revolutionary ideas is to say the least disturbing. While it may be trite to repeat that in this country the citizens determine what form of government they shall embrace, this platitude still has a very deep significance.

...console oneself in the polemics of the study for one's realized inferiority in other fields. There is no harm in such scholarship; it is a pleasant and, to a certain degree, a necessary thing, but to place it first among the functions of a university is, I repeat, a betrayal of the trust placed in us by society. It is to mistake a privilege for an inalienable right, exactly as the nobility and clergy of France forgot that their feudal privileges were merely payment for their services of protection and consolation and continued to demand those privileges long after...
