...exchanges, remain happily ignorant of; we mean the wholly imaginary light in which Harvard is represented as regarding her emancipation from the old system of required studies into the civilization of electives. To quote an exchange on this advance, "It is a pretty well understood fact that Harvard has made nothing by the change, and that she would be glad to retreat if such a thing were possible." If we had tried to make a glaring misstatement it would certainly have puzzled us to hit wider of the truth. We not only regard our elective system...
...represented by Mr. Seamans, whose appearance on the stage was the signal for applause. His make-up was in excellent taste, and he certainly made a very handsome lady. Two fine bouquets were thrown to him from the audience on his first appearance. The other characters were very well impersonated, especially that of Miss Arabella Pepper, a part which Mr. Lyon took with great success...
...Terrible Tragedy," the second farce on the programme, the leading characters were admirably taken by Messrs. Sargent and Harris, who were ably supported by Messrs. Whitney and Hosford. As a whole the farce was decidedly well done. The double quartette followed this farce with several College songs, all of which were well received by the audience. The singing showed that the members had bestowed considerable practice on the pieces and that there are several good voices in the Society. The entertainment concluded with "Pipkins's Rustic Retreat," in which Mr. Sargent had ample opportunity to do himself justice...
...large crowd of spectators, chiefly Yale students, who seemed, to judge by their applause, much pleased at our errors, Besides one or two noticeable features, there is little to say about the game.

For the New Havens, the pitcher had a puzzling way of jerking the first two balls over the heads of both striker and catcher, and then of letting the third one come swiftly towards the striker, and dropping when near...
...perfect line till within a short distance of the home plate, when it suddenly swerves from its course and passes beyond the reach of the striker. The play on the third base was excellent. Kent's play on the first base was magnificent. Hooper, as usual, pitched wonderfully well. Ernst made a beautiful catch in the last innings, running from centre field nearly to short stop for the ball. Thatcher was unfortunate in having lame hands, but his pluck in remaining at his post till the end is worthy of great praise. His errors he atoned for by a long...
