...expectation that our advice will be received in the spirit in which it is given, we wish to say a few plaim words to the freshmen. We feel confident that eighty-eight is represented by a strong base-ball nine, a nine which is capable of bringing to Harvard the championship which has been kept at Yale time out of mind. But we feel just as confident that unless the nine is upon the qui vive during every minute of the game, and unless it is supported by the presence and cheers of the whole freshman class, the all important...

If to gain the championship in foot-ball, in base-ball, or in anything, we must sacrifice the benefits of an elective system like ours, let us never contend for that much coveted prize. This is, we think, the weakest argument that has ever been advanced against the elective system. But we are glad to see that the Record has not the support of the other papers of the college...
