...account of the threatening weather, there were but few spectators at the game between the Amherst and Harvard freshmen, on Holmes Field, Saturday afternoon. Except toward the very last, the game was dull. It was marked by the wildest batting and worse base-running of the home team and the bungling work of the Amherst third baseman and left fielder. The pitcher, catcher and second baseman played the best fielding game for Amherst. For Harvard, Dean's work at second was excellent. The batting of the nine as a whole was terribly weak, seventeen men striking...
...themselves the tendency of the students is to correct many of the abuses which the overseers wish to put an end to. Only last year, they voted voluntarily to confine the baseball games to Yale and Princeton, so that the number of games played should be decreased. The tendency toward class and scrub boat races shows conclusively how little ground there is for the assertion that the University crew is the only one to which encouragement is given, and a glance at the football field in the fall, the gymnasium in winter, the baseball field in the spring...

The success of the performance was largely due to Mr. Kalopothakes's untiring efforts. Mr. H. H. Furness' suggestions also did much toward rendering the play so decided a success. The words of the songs were written by Asst. Prof. Cohn...
...Brooks spoke of the necessity for the strong man of reverence, of obedience and of self-sacrifice. The reverence which men feel toward God must be more than a pleasing sentiment: it must be a deep, powerful influence coming from a sense of the incomprehensibility of God and working to save the world from shallowness and failure. It is to be left neither to saints nor to cranks. The child must have it; the scientist and the mechanic. By reverence alone, which is the hiding of the eyes before the mystery and the majesty of God, can we know...
