...Though the University closes today for recess, its activities still roll on. The baseball and lacrosse teams and the crew go south; the track team competes in the Penn. Relay Carnival; the soccer team plays another game on its intercollegiate schedule; the Musical Clubs perform in New York; the Pudding presents "The Legend of Loravia" in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and a large number of benighted independents write theses in Cambridge. May they all do equally well...
...CRIMSON uniform for the first time, surrounding a nucleus of veterans. Acting-Captain McIntosh will hold down his old berth at the pivot sack, with Edgerton cavorting in the short field. These two with Stiles, a raw recruit, at third, will make up a stonewall infield; and Osborne, though inexperienced, is a demon with the willow, and will cover the initial bag in Daubert fashion.

His observations are pointed and keen; indeed, such ones as, "The German is perpetually hungry," and, "Akademische Freiheit is the Veritas of the German University," are almost epigrammatic. There is also novelty in Mr. Lockwood's chronicle of his semi-scientific hunting trip in Alaska, though his account suffers somewhat from lack of detailed description and incident. The series of articles on customs in different colleges is represented by one this month on Massachusetts Agricultural College and we are inclined to agree with the author when he suggests that the most distinctive thing about such "distinctive" customs...
