...Thus this article leads to "The Decadence of the Harvard Spirit; A Conversation" by Hugh McCulloch. This article was fully discussed in an editorial published in the CRIMSON a day or two ago, and we have only here to say that it presents well and clearly, though at somewhat tedious length, a great though inevitable danger into which we have come through the tremendous growth of the University in late years, that danger being that as our numbers increase we gradually lose that flue "Harvard spirit" of quiet and sober gentlemanliness for which Harvard men have always been noted...
...spoke for Harvard in the Yale debate night before last did themselves and the University proud. We congratulate them heartily for their well earned victory. The preparation it required was a long and tedious one, involving not a little self denial and worry. For all this the University thanks her representatives with a full appreciation of what they have succeded in doing. To win such a debate in the presence of a crowd of Yale sympathizers and on our opponents own ground, makes the victory even more gratifying.

Russell, Allen, came second, and F. J. Zoeden, third...
Harvard beat the Thomson-Houston nine yesterday in a rather tedious game, 10 to 2. Harvard took a remarkable brace in batting, having only one strike-out and eleven base hits, with a total of twenty-five. Five three-baggers were lined out, and one two-bagger. But the thing which was most noticeable about the Harvard team was the entire lack of knowledge about base-running. Only two bases were stolen, and in a number of cases the men were caught napping, and thrown out. This is a serious lack, and will do a great deal of harm...
