...American colleges have to spend much of their time and strength in teaching the A B C of their mother tongue to young men of 20-work disagreeable in itself, and often barren of result.

When the Princeton nine took the field for the sixth inning, several changes were noticeable. Blossom, whose hand had been badly spiked by Smith, retired from the field, and Shaw took his place at third, while Bickham went to centre field.

Princeton drew her sixth blank: Shaw struck a swift foul, which Allen caught in beautiful form, though he tripped...

A scene of wild confusion ensued. The members of the nine were borne in triumph to their barge, while a second short but decisive fight for seats...
...student to second and support the financial managers by subscriptions and by attendance at performances and concerts given in its benefit. The concert promises to be of unusual interest. The programme will consist of selections from both the fall and spring concert, and also of solos by several guraduates whose names are well known in musical circles. Let the students show by their attendance that they appreciate the kindness of our two musical organizations in thus coming to the relief of our boating interests...
