...single run, or the Mayflowers would have scored less than they did. Two muffs, also, were made by a veteran, usually the surest catch on the Eleven. Tapper and Harris, however, made good catches, and Lee as wicket keep and Bruce as long stop were very efficient. In their second innings, although the "crease" had been rolled, much to the benefit of their adversary's bowling, our Eleven scored 36. They thus just avoided a defeat by an inning, and were beaten instead by ten crickets. In this inning Jones and Lee batted well for their scores. Save their bowling...

Greek 4 is adapted only to those students who have already attended the Sophomore instruction in composition...

PHILOSOPHY 6 (Advanced Political Economy), which appears on the scheme of electives for next year, is a new course, and offers a second year of study on this subject for those who pass in either of the two courses which have been given this year. We understand that the basis of the course will be Cairnes's Principles of Political Economy, involving re-examination and application of the leading doctrines discussed by Mill. Carey's system is to be studied, in order to present the subject as it is seen from the extreme protectionist point of view; and the subject...
...that it is so pre-eminently the chief influence that the others may be safely disregarded. Where so many causes are at work it is eminently illogical and misleading to select out any one as the sole cause of a most complex result. And this brings us to the second bit of nonsense, whose commonness the majority of our college men, who do not see the exchanges, remain happily ignorant of; we mean the wholly imaginary light in which Harvard is represented as regarding her emancipation from the old system of required studies into the civilization of electives.
