...Freshman Nine arrived in New Haven on Friday evening, and were received at the station by the Yale men, whose attentions to them from the time of arrival to that of departure rendered their visit extremely pleasant. Saturday's game was called at 2.50 P.M. by Mr. Williams, Yale '73, who acted as umpire. The play of our Freshmen showed very great improvement over that displayed in their games here, only two errors, we believe, being their share of the day's blunders. As the record shows, the game was all one way from the first, and resulted...
...often that the advocates of any particular opinion are among the first to acknowledge its defects and its liability to abuse; when they do so, a large measure of liberality and fairness should be granted them: this applies very forcibly to the Faculty of the University, whose advice about a plan of study for next year confesses the weakness in the Elective System, while it strives to remedy it.

Several new songs were introduced, which were very acceptably rendered by Mr. Szemelenyi and Mr. Devens. The "hit" of the evening, however, was made by Mr. Thomas, whose Seneschal was as good a piece of amateur burlesque acting as we have ever seen. Mr. MacMillan made a great deal out of the Baron, and the ladies were lovely. On Thursday night the performance commenced with "The Follies of a Night," which was well acted and interesting. In conclusion came...
