...brought forward a plan whereby the 'Varsity nine may obtain more practice than it is getting at present. The idea is a good one and should not be left to moulder. The Junior nine has shown itself a strong team. Could it not step forward and fill the gap which is so marked. Its captain might organize a consolidated nine if the '88 men cannot be persuaded to play. Such practice would be invaluable to the 'Varsity. If defeat should finally result, it may be laid to the fact that such a team was not organized. We hope that...

Secondly, the 'varsity team will afford considerable practice, besides furnishing an innumerable number of "points," a great advantage to a raw eleven.

...main question again whether Harvard was over hasty, we cannot well give an unqualified answer. Yes, if we take the present state of educational matters into consideration; no, if we look ahead to the great change which is to be effected. At present there is a great gap between school and university which the young man has to jump over as best he can. His academical training ceases long before it is nearly sufficient; he is left to make shift for himself in a sea of different studies, and there is no denying that the average man gets hopelessly lost...
