...pleasure, Saturday, of witnessing a game of base-ball on Jarvis Field, in which Messrs. Thayer, Ernst, and a few others met a Nine from Brown; these latter being favored - for that occasion only, we trust - with the kind services of Messrs. Tyng and Thatcher. The odds against the Harvard men were, naturally, enormous; and the game terminated in our defeat by a score of eight to seven. The second innings was marked by a fine double play by Ernst, and in the following innings a splendid hit by Thayer gave three runs. In the fifth, a double...

The University was "represented" in almost every great battle of the Rebellion, from Bull Run to Petersburg, having sent to the field a larger number, in proportion to its total roll, than any other New England college. But the fact is, that neither the character of our community nor the traditions of the college are such as to encourage sporting habits. A large proportion of our students - large enough to determine the prevailing tone...
Ploughing, mowing, raking, and other matches of kindred nature might take place on Jarvis Field, and in these contests wreaths of laurel and farming implements could be awarded to the victors, while to each of the vanquished, as a compensation for the disappointment, an elegant chromo and a copy of Vick's Floral Guide might be presented. Also the land in the rear of the Scientific School, if proper attention were paid to it, might be induced to become the abode of the sweet-smelling onion, the cabbage, and the beet, - the last-named, however, will not need...
