...Yale base runner, who, in retaliation in the most inexcusable way, kicked the Harvard man. We can say with truth that an incident of this sort has never happened before in Cambridge on college grounds between any two opposing nines, whether collegians or not. Under any circumstances, the action of the Yale man was entirely indefensible, and though the trouble seemed to be made up between the chief ones concerned, yet we think something more is due to the college at large.

It would be impossible to give...
...Amherst college senate has over hauled the '86 Olio, it being claimed that articles were published in that production which had been especially forbidden by the faculty. No action was taken, and the discussion of the affair goes over till next week. A committee was also appointed to draw up a constitution for the senate, which is much need, since the powers of the senate are by no means fully defined...
