...welcome, it was attributed to the attention necessarily due to matters of importance decided there, thus leaving no time for the little civilities always expected from public officials. Arguments would have been useless to prove that we received less attention, enjoyed fewer privileges, or were regarded even with less respect than our older brothers. Conviction on that point was impossible. Fortunately that ever-present delusion of a blissful state never fades until seen through the eyes of a Sophomore or Junior.

This is not only Harvard's first victory over the "Reds," but also their first defeat at the hands of an amateur organization, and the result will no doubt be of great benefit to both, encouraging Harvard, while, if nothing more, impressing Boston with a sense of the "glorious uncertainty" of Base Ball. The day was cold, the attendance slight...
