...Brown men upon the north benches, a like number of Harvard freshmen upon the south benches, and a corporal's guard of upperclassmen, Holmes Field would have been untenanted yesterday afternoon. The game which attracted this small audience was uninteresting enough. The fielding was not bad, but the utter lack of anything like respectable batting made the innings drag along slowly...

Hundreds who went there, tormented, perhaps, by doubts and difficulties in the attempt to solve the great problem of what their life-work should be, thirsting for the light with which the lecturer's words flooded the subject and which would have aided them in the task of solution, were unable to gain admittance...
