...also true that there are nine hundred and fifty men in college, for whom for many reasons it is desirable that some form of athletic sport should be open; but we fail to see in what respect the game of base-ball loses in value on account of either of these facts. We are not aware of any other athletic sport in which many more than nine men at a time can be engaged. In foot-ball there are eleven, in lacrosse twelve, and in rowing, usually eight; but we do not see how any of these games...

As a specimen of the value of these electormetrical records to the ordinary reader, it is stated by Professor Trowbridge's assistant that a change in the direction of the wind is often indicated several hours, frequently four or five in advance, by a change in the electric potential of the air.

FLYING RINGS.Bachelder, L. S., Walker, '84, Allen, '84, and Pudor, '86, were competitors in this event. The exhibition was good, though somewhat long; Allen won applause by lifting himself up with either hand, and by holding himself extended with arms behind his back.

...seems that the committees' former notice on this subject was either misunderstood or else overlooked by the class, for very few lists have yet been sent in. The committee wish it fully understood that all lists must be handed in before April 3d, to ensure getting the pictures by Class Day. Those men who do not send in their lists before the spring recess have only themselves to blame, if their orders do not come, for Mr. Pach has declared plainly that he cannot promise to fill belated orders before commencement...
