...blew directly in the face of the batsmen. Owing to afternoon recitations at Princeton, game was called at 12 o'clock, with Harvard at the bat. The game opened well for an exciting contest, as neither side scored in the first inning, notwithstanding Furman's base-hit. In the second inning, after two men were out, a fumble of Hunt's, errors by Funkhouser and Furman, and base-hits by Latham and Nunn gave Harvard 3 runs. Dodge made a base-hit, but was left on second, the succeeding batsmen striking out. Wright made a base-hit, and scored...

...after the manner of a parable: There were two sections, Freshman year, - in the one, passages were constantly omitted; in the other, those only were avoided which were wholly unprofitable; in the first, the order to omit was always the signal for laughter and "wooding up"; in the second, there was never the least disorder of any kind when a slightly improper passage was read. I leave it to the instructors to find the interpretation, and will only say that, if they continue to treat us as school-boys, - or, rather, as school girls, - they must not be surprised...
