...students to have the vote rescinded, and thus far they have succeeded in getting the faculty to hold the matter in abeyance for one week. Should the faculty refuse to reconsider the matter, all college athletics will have to be dropped. The boat races will come off as usual, as the college has no jurisdiction in the matter, because the race takes place after the close of the college term...
...June number of the Atlantic Monthly is as bright and interesting as usual. The serial stories, "Yone Santo" and "The Despot of Broomsedge Cove" are continued, and a new one, "Miser Farrell's Bequest," by J. P. Quincy, is begun. "To Cawdor Castle and Culloden Moor," by J. C.

Harvard, after the first three innings, played a steady game. Harvard batted hard, sending ten flies to the out-field. Linn played a fine fielding game and led his side at the bat. Gallivan played his usual good game, both in the field and at the bat. For Melrose, Grant played finely, as did Chase, who in the eighth caught a hot liner from Knowlton's bat, jumping high in the air. Harvard's coaching was poor, and lost her at least one run. The score...
