...result of the game was, of course, a disappointment to us; but it was fairly earned by the King Philips, who both outbatted and outfielded our Nine. Their batting in the fourth and fifth innings was very heavy, and their fielding throughout the game was almost without an error...
This was our third game with Princeton, and, as she was defeated in both the former games, a like result was looked for in this one. Our men, however, had to cope with a remarkably strong Nine, flushed with their victory of 10 to 9 over Yale, and anxious to hang the Harvard scalp in the New Jersey wigwam.

This desire for a little of everything seems to result in part from a very imperfect conception of what is called Culture, - that movement of which Matthew Arnold was the leader, and of which he himself says that its aim is the perfection of our human nature on all its sides, in all its capacities; that it presses ever onwards...
