...after stating that Professor Palmer's estimates are not correct, and that the catalogue is absolutely misleading, presents a new table. The reader, prepared for figures lower than ever, suddenly finds himself confronted by sums double or treble the college estimates; and yet the author declares at the end that he has proved what he set out to. This shows plainly that his views of expenses are more liberal than those of Professor Palmer, the college authorities, or indeed the general public. Moreover, the evident lack of material for computation makes the tables less valuable than they might be. Professor...
...probably included in it; while Professor Palmer calculates that almost one-quarter of each class spend between $450 and $650. As to the four upper grades, it seems hardly worth while to analyze so closely the expenses of "hardly more than a quarter" of the class, when the other end of the scale is treated in such a cursory review. One column instead of four would reduce the exaggerated proportions of this part of the table. The author claims that over two-thirds majority of each class spend from $810 to $1,410; but this evidently a mere guess based...
Yesterday afternoon, about all the members of the various athletic organizations took advantage of the mild weather to get some practice in the open air. Jarvis Field presented a very animated appearance. At the lower end the 'Varsity nine were at work, while the freshman nine and lacrosse team had taken possession of the upper portion of the field. The freshman nine engaged in field work under the supervision of Captain Bates. They showed in their work the lack of practice which necessarily follows after the inaction of six months.

At this net were Mumford, '90; Bailey, '89; Dean, '91; Butterworth, '90, and Morgan, '89. At the other net, which was under the direction of ex-Captain Williard, were Campbell, L. S.; Quackenboss, M. S., and McKean, '90. Boyden was pitching to this net. In the field were Gallivan, '88; Linn, '90; Mason, '91, and Codman, '90. The ground was not in the best condition, being damp...
...Boston and Cambridge are about to be realized. A number of electric cars have been tried, but all have been found lacking in some particular or other, but yesterday afternoon a new one, of the Hewins make, ran successfully in Cambridge. The car, with the president of the West End road, and W. L. Stevens, the patentee of the motor used, on board, left the Cambridgeport headquarters, and went up Broadway to Harvard square, ascending the steep grade on Broadway without difficulty. From Harvard Square, the car went down Kirkland street, and when put at full speed made twelve miles...
