...unpleasant to have to call the attention of the freshmen to the fact that they have a base ball nine which is playing games in Cambridge. It would seem that they were ignorant of this very obvious truth to judge from the number of men who have been in the habit of watching their nine play. At the game with Technology there were hardly half a dozen. It is discouraging for a team not to feel that some interest is being taken in its movements; to know that they are being watched by supporters instead of by an indifferent crowd...
...cricket eleven is to be congratulated on receiving permission to play games in Philadelphia. This will not only give the team an enjoyable trip, but will afford them two excellent matches. The granting of this petition may seem at first sight like an inconsistent infringement of the New England rule, but a little consideration will show that the action is perfectly consistent.

It says "love beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things." But for a practical man to endure everything and to believe everying would seem to him ridiculous. He rejoices in his cleverness and thinks that he is so sharp that no one can deceive him. But he deceives himself for what man could carry on his business without trusting anybody; he would not only narrow his business but he would make himself smaller and meaner...
