...those who took advantage of the fine evening to hear the Rev. Lyman Abbott preach. Dr. Abbott took as his text, Matthews ix.: 22. The central idea of his sermon was that there is no purification without pain. The Bible, he says, dwells upon the remission of sin, rather than of penalty. Christ was a suffering God, for suffering is not imperfection, but the climax of character. It is suffering that reconciles man to God, and good men and bad men can be brought together only by mutuality of pain. The message then, of the New Testament, is that...
...hope and expect, a celebration will of course follow, and this is as it should be. But we must not rush forward blindly. If there are to be bonfires and fireworks, or indeedgeneral demonstrations of any kind, let them take place on the field where the victory was won, rather than on the street or in the college yard. Jarvis is far better in its facilities and its position, and we cannot afford to sun the gauntlet of the city authorities or to put our trees and college buildings in jeopardy.

The most interesting event of the field day was the 100 yard dash, which was won by Vredenberg in 10s. Carey was a close second. All the long distance runs were ruined by the miserable condition of the track...
...that day is to be supplemented by a match between the shooting teams of the two universities. Arrangements for the match are almost completed, and it is to come off in the morning. Last year the first Harvard-Yale clay pigeon match ever held was shot in Cambridge or rather at the clubs shooting grounds at Watertown, and our team won the honor of being the only Harvard 'varsity team that succeeded in lowering the blue in 1889. We had a remarkably strong five last spring but this year some of the best men are lost. There must be plenty...
