...very rare that any of the rumors which are floating about are free from exaggeration or error, yet when they are our only source of information, we have to accept them; and when we hear a report of some decision so mutilated as to seem arbitrary, and out of the proper sphere of a college government, a very bitter feeling is produced, old troubles are raked up, and new stories get into circulation, so that often a very small fire kindles a great deal of matter...
...next few months, and there will be need of our insisting on a fuller discussion of the purposes of these contests, or we may be hurried - as some other colleges are now in danger of being - into participation in a kind of contest where victory might perpetuate our error. While we do not wholly agree with some of the journals in considering this as merely a contest in "prize declamation and composition," yet we think that one of the Boston papers was much further from the truth when it gave as a parallel institution the contest on literary topics which...

If a man does this persistently, it is well...
...safe hit, but was left, as the next two strikers retired in good order. The Bostons scored one run, Barnes getting his first on a base hit and stealing second. In the second innings for the Harvards, Kent opened with a safe fly, Tyng got his first on an error of O'Rourke, Tower and Thatcher made safe hits, and Spinney sent a ball through O'Rourke, letting in Tyng and Tower, Kent having already scored. Harry Wright then muffed a fly from Leeds, and a wild pitch let in Thatcher. Hodges fouled out; but Tyler made a beautiful...
