...exciting one, and the score, 3 to 1, was, we believe, the smallest ever made in an amateur match. On our side, Cutler's play in left field was remarkably fine; Kent, Hodges, and Annan were quick and accurate in their several positions, while the pitching of Hooper won general praise. White was so unfortunate as to receive a foul ball in the eye, in the eighth inning. His place was occupied by Perry, catcher of the Freshman Nine. This game does not give the championship to the Princetons, as they have not won two games out of three...
...general play on either side was far from brilliant, but was as good as the recent misfortunes to both Nines would warrant us in expecting. It is unfair to criticise Perry as if he were an experienced catcher, and he deserves every praise for his steady play and evident determination to take all chances. Annan, as short-stop, beside his general good play, made the prettiest hit of the game, a beautiful two-baser. Nevins, in the field, made a remarkable left-hand catch, and at the pitcher's position his throwing did great execution...
...abolitionist might have spoken against slavery. He says: "Its atmosphere is stifling, and its fetters galling." Rather strong language, I think, to apply to the friendship which naturally exists between one or two hundred young men of like age, having like studies, and the same interests and pursuits in general. This writer longs for the time when "pseudo-unity of spirit will no longer be a palliative of transgression and a plea for distinction." He calls class feeling "the curse of our college," decidedly fails to establish the fact, and winds up with a paragraph the meaning of which...
...believe, always in order. Our attention has lately been drawn to the various comments, side notes, and cabalistic marks which spoil the appearance of many an interesting work; it surely ought to be borne in mind that one's private opinions cannot be of interest to the general reader. The present is also a proper time to suggest that books belonging to the Institute of 1770 should be returned immediately, in order that they may be arranged in the new room. It is very pleasant to accumulate a private library, but the books given to the Institute are not public...
...feel that a mistake has been made in the eight months past, - that too much has been aimed at, and consequently too little accomplished. These will perhaps feel the force of a few words on what is becoming so common at Harvard, a fashion of trying to get a general idea of all the elective studies, rather than an accurate knowledge of a few. This desire for a little of everything seems to result in part from a very imperfect conception of what is called Culture, - that movement of which Matthew Arnold was the leader, and of which he himself...
