...many times in our columns of the disgraceful way in which the Cambridge "muckers" are allowed to take possession of the college yard and athletic grounds. As the spring has advanced the nuisance has been getting more and more intolerable, and must be stopped in some way. The new sod in the yard is trampled all over every day by these irrepressible youngsters; they gather in swarms whenever the Glee Club sings, and on Wednesday they used Holmes Field as a play-ground while the cricket match was going on, got in everybody's way, and yelled and hooted like...

...notice the improvement which is now taking place in the appearance of the yard by the sodding of old, worn out patches of grass without a feeling of satisfaction.

...which was used in payment of outstanding bills, so that the association began the year without any surplus money. It was deemed advisable last spring to play on Holmes Field if possible, as Jarvis Field was in a wretched condition. In order to do this it was necessary to sod the new diamond which cost the BaseBall Association $492.84. In January at the meeting of the Executive Committee, Mr. D.
