...second game in our series with Yale proved to be the most exciting that was ever played on Jarvis Field. The Yale nine, expecting an easy victory, was accompanied by two hundred members of their college, while a large audience of ladies and graduates appeared to support the Crimson. The game was won in the first innings. Yale went to the bat. Parker drove a long fly to centre field, which Nichols captured. Lamb got first by Richardson's error, and took second as Folsom balked. Hutchinson hit safely to right, sending Lamb to third, Walden bringing him and Hutchinson...

A goodly array of familiar faces on the benches does much towards the encouragement of the Nine, not only by applause, but also in a pecuniary way.

The Club now has many fine voices, its selections are for the most part...
...debates which have thus far taken place in the Harvard Union show that the University can support an organization of that kind. But that the interest in the society may be kept at the present level, other inducements than debate pure and simple must be offered. Besides the room for debate, which it is hoped Sever Hall will furnish next year, there is need of a social reading-room, to be kept open in the evening, when one has time to look over the newspapers or reviews. The reading-room now in the hands of the undergraduates has never been...
