...Winsor's record in the Boston Library has been faultless, and the whole management, while under his care, has been a marvel of correctness, exactness, and faithfulness. At the age of eighteen, we are told, he wrote the history of the town of Duxbury; entered this College in the class of '53, but for some reason left at the end of the Sophomore year, and went to Europe, where he remained for three years. His degree was given him in '68. Returning from Europe, he settled in Boston; was elected Trustee of the Boston Library, and was called upon...
...field as they were by the audience which graced the benches of Holmes Field on Class Day afternoon; and never before had such a gathering greater cause for rejoicing in the success of their favorites than did the numberless friends of Harvard on that victorious day. They saw a record of severe defeat wiped out by corresponding triumph, yes, more than corresponding. Five to Zero was overwhelmed, submerged, buried deep beyond the possibility of resurrection, while Ten to One was written out in letters of light equally legible on the smiling faces of Harvard and the mournful visage...

THOUGH in the main successful during the past few weeks, our Nine has not shown such field playing as their record during the early part of the season promised. In their batting there is marked improvement, and for this reason there is great hope of their success on the 22d. But they must make fewer errors in the field! In no important game recently have they made less than ten errors, and in some many more; a fact that does not harmonize with victory, or suggest convincing arguments for success. Our base-ball article elsewhere shows a very good record...
...Yale Record advises its subscribers to calm their minds and consider that there is another baseball game to be played with Harvard. Perhaps, while they are about it, our friends at Yale might as well calm their minds and consider the possibility of there being two other games to be played. They might also calm their minds and consider that there is a boat-race to be rowed...
