...discussion once more. The phase of the complaint which has been developed during the past year is an inclination to growl at the defeats of the Nine, coupled with a refusal to be present at the games, even if played in Cambridge. But there is a step even lower than this; the work of preparation for the annual examinations may render it impossible to attend base-ball games, but no such plea can be urged by the numbers of students who witness the games from the fence of Jarvis Field. A goodly array of familiar faces on the benches does...
...Messrs. A. Thorndike and J. S. Bell in the excellent time of 4 min., 50 1/8 sec., the best previous Harvard record being 4 min. 56 sec., made by Bell last spring. Their styles were noticeably different, Thorndike striking a long swinging gait, while Bell took a short, quick step, and apparently labored much more than his opponent.

We trust that the students who are now for the first time offered this privilege will avail themselves of it, for it cannot fail to promote a better feeling between the different portions of the University. As this courtesy has been shown us, certainly the least that we can do to return...
...step in the right direction has been taken : there is an examination in English composition required for admission to Harvard College. But we must go a great deal farther than that. If the Freshman year must consist of required studies, let rhetoric be transferred from the Sophomore year, and let there be, in addition, some good elementary course in English literature; give too, if you like, the writing of themes to Freshmen. This, of course, will necessitate a less amount of classics and mathematics, - studies to which no one can pretend to assign an equal value with the ability...
