...Class will reassemble in front of Holworthy Hall, march through the Yard, cheer the Buildings, and go through the usual exercises at the Tree, where the Class Song will be sung...
...Corporation was, however, exhausted, and they addressed a formal remonstrance to the governor, but after some discussion yielded the use of the buildings. During all this, political influences were strongly felt at Harvard, and the members of the Corporation were almost unanimously devoted to the popular cause; yet the usual courtesies were shown to the loyalist governor. An indication of Harvard's opinions and spirit at this time is seen on the occasion of one of her public dinners, at which John Hancock was invited to a seat with the Governors of the College; and, again, we see the same...
...well under the direction of Mr. Greenleaf and with the assistance of Mr. Babcock.

This lead was kept throughout, but greatly augmented by an addition of eight runs in one innings. The Yale Nine outbatted us, but in the field had quite a number of errors, though not equalling our number...
