After the recent agitation for the reduction of the number of intercollegiate contests it is interesting to compare the baseball schedule for this spring with last year's list of games. The most noticeable feature is the attempt of the management to detract as little as possible from the "scholarly interests" of the undergraduates. The number of mid-week games in Cambridge during term time has been reduced 25 per cent, because these contests caused absences from lectures. One less trip will be taken, and the total number of games will be three or four less than it was last...
...General Advisor to the Government of Siam a large sum of money, raised by subscription in that country for a memorial to the late Professor Edward H. Strobel '77. This is to take the form of a fund, the income of which will be devoted to the purchase of recent books on Siam. In addition to money contributions, authors of books on subjects connected with Siam, have sent copies of their work and the Council of the Siam Society has also contributed a full set of the Journal of the Society...
...surprised by the fact of no one's having thought of it before. The great success of the Harvard Club of Boston is an example of this, and as the various functions of this organization are brought to our notice we cannot understand why its origin is of such recent date.

The New Bedford Club was about the first to see the possibilities of this idea, and many others have taken...
...step toward the total abolition of an unpopular system. Although the primary reason for having this competition now and not in the fall is to secure another assistant to aid in the management of the intercollegiate games next spring, its merit lies in its departure from the custom of recent years, when the manager was chosen chiefly with reference to the amount of money collected. Possibly subscriptions are necessary for Freshman teams, but it has long been felt that they should be abolished as regards University athletics. With this move of the track management the crew will be the only...
Finding a stroke for the university eight is the most serious problem before the coaches. Four men have been tried in the seat with indifferent success, and the place will probably not be definitely settled for some weeks. The most recent arrangement of the men has been as follows: stroke, Brainard; 7, Goodrich; 6, Howe; 5, Baker; 4, Hunt; 3, Wodell: 2, Glenny; bow, Rice. All of these places seem likely to be permanent except that of stroke, which is uncertain. Of these only Captain Howe, Rice, and Wodell rowed in the university or four-oared boats last year...
