...accorded Bates was excellent. The field work of both nines was good, Princeton excelling in this respect. The visitors could do nothing with Bates, eleven men striking out and two only reaching first on safe hits. The umpiring of McLean was a trille erratic, his decisions on strikes being somewhat off. On the whole, Princeton suffered the most from his decisions...
...announcement that a course in elocution to be known as English 10 will be given next year under the direction of Mr. Hayes is good news to many students.

The essay on Philip Dormer Stanhope, fourth Earl of Chesterfield, though instructive, well written, and displaying in its argument original thought, seems somewhat out of place, in the field which the Advocate has chosen. "Carmen" needs a second reading to be appreciated. The author's conception is delicate; his expression, however, is somewhat obscure, and at times strains after unnatural words. Such compounds as "scorn-enwrapped" will hardly bear close scrutinizing. The remaining poem...
