...first story, "A Thing Apart," by A. de Roode, follows a theme which inadequate character analysis makes unnatural and unpleasant, despite a touch of boldness in the writing. "Mac's Aunt," by R. G. Fuller, is amusing in a way, but quite without quality. "The Model Farce," by T. Ybarra, is too extravagant for any discussion. "Billy's Outlaw," by P., shows some vivacity and novelty, but has an improbable ending. The magazine contains an enthusiastic book review and an earnest editorial...

Harvard was outplayed in every department except pitching. Clarkson's pitching was the only thing which saved the game. The batting was wretched; the men were flustered at the bat and made only six hits against one of Andover's weaker pitchers. They hit to the infield, sent a few flies to the outfield, and struck out three times. As the batting stands at present Harvard must either shut out her opponents or lose...
