...their place of periodical hour examinations. His chief argument in favor of this change was that the present system allows a man so inclined to loaf the greater part of the year and to grind up before the examination just enough to enable him to pass.

Matches enough are played at Longwood, Medford and other places in the vicinity; but only the men who know the game are willing to travel any distance to see it. If matches are instituted at Cambridge, however, there is no doubt that interest in cricket...
