...fair sized audience met yesterday to see the first championship game on Holmes Field. The game began at four with Dartmouth at the bat. G. Nettleton led off with a base hit. Springfield took his base on balls. Hale fol lowed with another safe hit to right field, but LeMoyne threw home in time to catch G. Nettleton at the plate. Chellis hit a ground ball to Coolidge, forcing Hale out at second base. Chellis stole second, but Fellows struck out, leaving two men on bases. For Harvard, Coolidge made a safe hit, and took second on McCarthy's fumble...
...Such cheering as has been given in the last two games on our own grounds is not such as should come from Yale men, and the sentiment of the whole college rises up against it. A good series of rah-rash at the right time is what all love to hear, but for the two sides to cheer at the same moment as though pitted against one another in a cheering combat seems to us even childish.

The sciences are recommended early in the course and "English should be studied from the beginning of school life to the end of college life." It is only right that the classics should stand on their own merits. "It is not the proper business of universities to force subjects of study, or particular kinds of mental discipline upon unwilling generations." "Finally, the enlargement of the circle of liberal arts may be justly urged on the ground that the interests...
...dressing-rooms on the right of the main entrance are furnished with about 300 lockers, through which run ventilating shafts. This room communicates with the bathrooms, which are fitted up with all the modern conveniences, and it is thought that Turkish baths will soon be introduced. On the other side of the building is the statistician's room. Every student in the college must submit himself to a thorough examination three times during his course, and the resulting figures will be grouped together, and thus the average health and development of the college can be obtained from year to year...
