...getting "rattled," seems to have disappeared with most of the other faults. Harvard need never hope that the aspect of Holmes field on a June afternoon will be sufficient to demoralize completely every blue jersey that is seen on the diamond. The makeup of the nine will probably be somewhat as follows: Batteries, Stagg and Dann, and Dann and Sullivan; bases, Spencer, Kellogg and Cross; short-stop, Noyes; out-field, Brigham, Hunt and Shepard. Osborn, '88, may play first base...
...affirmative side of the debate ran somewhat as follows: The formation of a university club would be consistent with the general tendencies now at work in Harvard College. The old hard and fast lines between the different classes, and between the professors and the students, have been eliminated.

And as of the short stories, so of the novels. Balzac seems to me the first novelist who could dissect a woman. Defoe tried to analyze a woman of the lower grade in Roxana, and Peregrine Pickle is such another monument...
Begins with a striking piece of blank verse, which seems a new departure in college poetry; follow the editorials, exceptionally strong and much to the point. A very amusing story, "Aloft on the Dorothy Bell," comes next, and then a selection of Daily Themes. "At Night-Time" is a somewhat dog gerel rendering of a German poem. Next is an essay on "Count Tolstoi and Modern Realism," in which the writer, after saying that Balzac tried to crush the life out of French prose - Balzac, the one man to me who can understand and describe the emotions of a woman...
