...result of the preliminary examinations for women, four of the applicants received a certificate of the grade given first in the Catalogue, two others were conditioned, and a seventh failed to pass. No alternative but success or perfect failure was contemplated; but two of the applicants did so well that it seemed unfair to let all their work go for nothing, and they can obtain the certificate by passing, next year, those examinations in which they failed. Two or three of the ladies who succeeded will probably try for further honors next year. There is a question whether the names...
...score remained tied. In the sixth inning, good hits by Tyler, Thatcher, and Hooper, with errors by Barnes, McVey, and G. Wright, gave us 3 runs; but the professionals, by heavy striking and errors by Hodges, Thatcher, and Tyler, piled up 6 runs, and two runs in the seventh innings; Tower omitting to catch the ball before tumbling down. In the eighth, our Nine again failed to score, while the Bostons, by fine striking, especially a three-base hit by O'Rourke, scored 6 runs Hall quietly trotting home unnoticed amid the general demoralization. In the last innings, Kent scored...
...geography, and philosophy, together with several upon the sciences, - physics, chemistry, arithmetic, geometry, etc. There is also a degree conferred called the Baccalaureat-es-Sciences, in which the sciences are the principal element.

Inasmuch as the examinations...
...Hodges to Bush, catching George Wright; good catches by McKim and Tower; a double by Tyler and Hodges; and the excellent base playing of Kent, he having but one error credited to him, and that an overthrow to third. Hooper pitched finely, as usual. At the close of the seventh inning the score stood 13 to 21, in favor of Harvard, and at this point the game should, without question, have been called; but it was allowed to continue, Boston scoring six in the eighth with no additional runs for Harvard. Although now quite dark, an attempt was made...
...Professor Trowbridge heard of the undertaking, he became very much interested, and endeavored in every possible way to render assistance. Through his kindness the Company were allowed to test the resistance of their line-wire by connecting it with the Physical Laboratory. They found the resistance to be one seventh of that between Boston and New York. The Company then set about connecting the different buildings of the Yard with one another, and shortly afterward Mr. Burgwyn, in Thayer, essayed a match-game of chess versus Messrs. Angell, Young, MacVane, and Otis, in Hollis...
