...great surprise to the Beacons as well as the College. The fielding on the Harvard side was brilliant, Coolidge and Nunn making fine fly-catches, and Olmstead accepting fourteen chances on first base without an error. Knowles' delivery proved very annoying to the Beacons, and Stevens gave him excellent support behind the bat. With a little practice these two men will form a strong addition to the Nine, if not for this year surely for subsequent ones. Lloyd batted finely for the Beacons, and Campbell in the field made a long running fly-catch. The following is the score...
...proposed American Henley now seems likely to receive a trial under very favorable circumstances next July. The letters which we have published from "A Yale Graduate of '69" have given a very full account of the project and its claims to the support of college oarsmen. We regret that it seems impossible for Harvard to take any part in this regatta this year, but hope that the question of entering a crew will be carefully considered next year after the experiment has been tried for the first time. We should not desire to see anything interfere with the annual race...
...Executive Committee have given abundant evidence of their ability to wrestle with difficult problems in mental arithmetic. For instance, given three judges and two ends of a piece of tape, problem, to place the judges so that the two ends of the tape shall be supported. The Committee have solved this by a master stroke, by placing two judges at one end of the tape, and the third at the other; but it seems to us that they have left out of consideration the feelings of the third judge. Isolated at one end of the tape, he is obliged...
...matter of surprise, as well as regret, that the Freshmen, after making such a brilliant start in athletics, are failing to support their class crew in a substantial way. Up to the present time only one half of the money which the crew must have in order to row the race with the Columbia Freshmen has been subscribed. More than half of the class, although most of them have been called upon to subscribe, have failed to give anything at all. It is not necessary to wait for the subscription-list to be brought around, but it is the duty...
...letters from an American now living in China have appeared in the Boston Advertiser. The writer advocates the establishment of a "teachership" of the Chinese language at Harvard, and in the support of his argument even goes so far as to say that a knowledge of Chinese, as well as of Greek and Latin, is desirable on account of the literary wealth of the language. Some persons may be a little skeptical in regard to this literary wealth of the Chinese, and we do not fear that a Chinese elective would attract students from Latin and Greek...
