...take up this work about the first of February. The candidates for pitcher and catcher, the names of whom appeared in a recent issue of the CRIMSON, are doing good work and making marked progress under the skilful instruction of Mr. Clarkson. Those with whom Clarkson is thrown in contact are unanimously of the opinion that the evil results supposed to be attendant upon the hiring of a professional coach are entirely fallacious. The most exacting could find no fault with the deportment and general bearing of our professional coach. There are four candidates for pitcher; to each of these...
...Pickering at Willows, Cal., were highly successful. The party consisted of Prof. Pickering and Messrs. S. Bayley, E. S. King and R.

The sole cause for regret is that the absence from Cambridge of so many of us prevents us from availing ourselves of this valuable privilege...
...Gordon conducted the meeting and after the reading of the nineteenth Psalm, gave a short sermon. He took as his text the incident of Mary being excluded from the inn prior to Christ's birth. He said if men would only consent to come into real contact with Christianity it would have the effect of an electric battery, establishing a complete sovereignty in their thought, interest, and being. The choir sang the anthems, "It came upon the midnight clear," by Sullivan; "Thus said the Lord," from the Messiah, sung by Mr. Richardson, of Boston, and Gounod's "Nazareth...
