Slater did not allow a hit during the entire game, and would have scored a shut-out but for McCall's error. He was effective all the time, and struck out seven men and passed only two. The opposing pitcher, Quint, was not speedy, and did not have a great variety of curves; but he pulled himself out of several tight places by making the men at the bat knock pop flies. Captain Dexter made two pretty catches in left field, and scored the first run with a pretty single to left, after which he stole second and third. Pounds...
Bates apparently has a faster team than last year, when Harvard shut them out, 4 to 0, in a slow game with Greene in the box. They have victories over Tufts, Andover and Exeter to their credit, and have hit the ball hard in all their games.

Part of the engineering scheme for the construction of the dam provides for a temporary shut-off which will establish the level of the basin at about the same level as the permanent structure. The terms of the contract call for the completion of this shut-off dam by August...
...progress and power in answer to the wholesome natural desire of many an eager, restless, hesitating, youthful life. The story of the higher education is the passage from the compulsion of the schoolroom to the liberty of the University. The story of life is similar. You do the shut-in task and it opens into the larger opportunity, you face the limited duty and the larger duty discloses itself just beyond. But what is the way of life that opens thus from door to door? It is nothing other than religion, for it is the view which opens through...
