...exceptional stream from the fact that its bottom is but little lower than its banks, and consequently from heavy rains is convertible into a large lake. Such was the position of the Union army on the morning of May 30, when the booming of guns on the right of the line announces that an attempt is being made to crush keyes' division. Reinforcements are quickly hurried up, and a sharp all-day fight results in the retiring of the Union forces two miles. Instead of pressing the attack the Confederates retreated.

...request. This is hardly the spirit that the college expects from the freshmen, and the sooner they get over it the better will be their chances for success. There is plenty of material in '87 for a good nine, but the men do not come forward with the right spirit. Captain Loud is an energetic man, but a captain can do little unless supported by his men. The entire working of the nine bears a marked contrast with that of preceding classes, and we should think that '87 would endeavor to supersede, or at any rate tie the good record...
