...Convention of Amateur Ball Players was held at the Astor House, New York, on the evening of the 17th. The Harvard Club was represented by Messrs. Tyler and Hodges. Although the meeting was of great length, but few vital points were discussed. A resolution against the proposed ten men and ten innings was adopted, and the rule allowing underhand throwing was abolished, and that of the Convention of 1870 substituted...
...good material for a crew, yet it seems in great danger of doing worse even than the last Freshman Class. The Class of '76 were at least enthusiastic, subscribing liberally to meet the expenses of their crew and having all winter long in the Gymnasium from ten to twelve men working for it; but our new associates seem entirely forgetful of the fact that the rest of the College expect them to send a crew to the next regatta.

In the seats reserved for the family and friends there were many distinguished men, who had come from distant parts of the country to pay the tribute of their presence to the memory of Agassiz. At the conclusion of the short and simple service, the body was carried to Mount Auburn, where a burial service was read by Dr. Peabody. The number of people...
