...News further says: "Active assistance from members of the Faculty is here at Yale undoubtedly most valuable training to the debaters. In telligent criticism and pertinent suggestion from faculty coachers are of as much instructive force as safe-guards against misdirected effort in debating as they are in any other field of educational effort. If they are entirely dispensed with the most important side of these intercollegiate contests, the educational side, is seriously impaired." True, Faculty assistance is necessary to the proper training of debaters and is valuable to them in an educational way. The faculty should give its students...
...doubtless known to many that during the coming week the eminent Scotch author, Dr. John Watson (Ian Maclaren), is to visit Boston and to deliver lectures there. It is probably safe to say that as the author of the Bonnie Brier-Bush stories, Dr. Watson is more widely known and admired than any other author of recent years.

After this Paine made a wild pitch and Smith followed with a very timely single, which brought in two runs...
...runs for Harvard, but no one was equal to the occasion. A large number of men hit grounders to Summersgill who had nine assists and made several pretty stops. The Brown infield played the finest game that has been seen in Cambridge this year and cut off several apparently safe hits. Brown was fortunate in bunching her hits at the right time, and also did some very clever sacrifice hitting...
