Vassar College has recently received a scholarship of $6,000 from Calvin Huntington of Fort Scott, Kansas, it being his intention to provide for the education, in all coming time, of his descendants or those bearing the Huntington name. The need of scholarships is far greater than the supply therefor. Mr. Huntington's gift is highly appreciated. This is the second scholarship that the college has received within a year, the other being one of $8,000, given by the late Stephen Buckingham of Poughkeepsie...
...opinion of Harvard has been unmistakably in favor of a league of three clubs. The reasons therefor have been amply demonstrated in the results which have attended the admission of Columbia. But even if Harvard should decide to waive the evident advantages of a league with Princeton and Yale alone, why should Williams be chosen as the fourth college?

...reason why any particular man should be blamed because he failed to bring victory from almost sure defeat. The freshmen played their best, but were out fielded and out-batted. But inasmuch as they did their best to win from Yale, they should receive the credit therefor and not be "jumped upon" for not doing more than was in their power...
