...such a way as to drive us to scepticism from sheer indifference. If we are fed on the dry husks of religious conventionalism, we can hardly be expected to develop practical and robust Christianity to help us in our daily life, and not a general shaking up of dead issues." - Herald...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON - The miseries of our existence a la freshman, are occasionally relieved by glimpses of future liberation. '85 had some, '86 has more. The feudal period of college is dead; its course deserves prominent interment among the long buried remains of other fossilized oppressions. The common interpretation of class loyalism has ceased to be slaughter and death to those unfortunates who date their graduation in subsequent years; university lords of one term's standing have ceased to regard classless refugees of no standing whatever, as the legitimate victims of their varied and erratic humours.

...past few years, bicycling at Harvard has been on the decline, and consequently an idea is prevalent that the club is dead. This is far from being the case.

Allen knocked a foul ball, but the umpire refused to allow it, although the ball hit Allen on the shoulder and became a dead ball anyway, and he was thrown out at first; Willard reaching second, going third on Marsh's error. Foster was called out on strikes. Henshaw made a rattling hit, but Willard remained on third in order to keep the catcher up. A passed ball sent him across the plate and Henshaw...
