...admitted and we venture to say that there is not a Harvard man in existence who is not glad of the fact. Her victories last year put her above the other college nines in public opinion. but it was far from proven that she had the best team. Every student in Cambridge is eager to see his college nine cross bats with her again and thereby obtain an opportunity to wipe out the defeat of last year...

...obstreperous newspaper boys, who gather in crowds at the entrance to Memorial, be quieted to some extent? Playing tag and loud shouting seem hardly appropriate in the transept of Memorial, but these small youths seem to possess as little regard for the place as for the comfort of the students.
