...class mates but also by all his many friends in and about college. None who came in contact with his simple, manly character can fail to grieve at his loss. His career at college, both socially and in his studies, was one to serve as an example of straightforward, honest worth. A firm yet candid friend, ever willing to sacrifice his own pleasure to that of others, his uniform courtesy and quiet merit won for him the respect of all, the sincerest regard of those who knew him intimately. His success in the athletic field has upheld the honor...
...association. We are informed upon the best authority that Yale will also send delegates and enter the new league. The leading base-ball men of Yale have been from the first strongly in favor of the triple league, and their action in the matter has been perfectly honest and straightforward, but they were hampered by the feelings of a part of the college and of the graduates. Now the committee have full power and they have decided to enter the new league in spite of violent opposition from a number of men in college. For Yale has been placed...

It is to be hoped that the present querulous attitude of Yale will soon give place to one dictated by straightforward judgement, and that on Thursday she will present her eleven at Princeton to compete with the champion team. If she does not, it is gratifying to know that the Inter-collegiate Association will bestow the championship of '89 where it will then belong. We wish that it could quiet once for all the babbling...
...Baker, however, in a strong, well written sketch of George Farquhar, touches a different key. Straightforward expression and clear English characterize this paper well worth a thoughtful reading. Mr. Sanford in some very striking verse, pictures "The Lilberhom." The second and third stanzas are firm and very noticeable for their rythm and delicacy of touch. If Mr. Berenson would confine himself to prose, and always write as admirably as in "The Third Category," his work would be appreciated, we assure him. There is here a touch of introspection which is very charming, and the closing bit of brutality is unquestionably...
