...athletics, Amherst has always stood well. The chances for her base-ball team for the coming year, however, are not considered good. The college feels somewhat chagrined because some of its best men have gone to Brown and also because, as it is rumored, Brown has hired several professional players for the coming season. The college supports no crews but recalls with pride the year when Amberst won a race from both Harvard and Yale; the shell in which that race was rowed, now almost in splinters, is placed as a memento in the drill hall of the Agricultural college...
...Davy, of Cambridge, has got his eight-oared shell well under way. It is a very good looking craft; the builder has avoided as much as possible the faults of being at taught to any one idea. Mr. Davy is trying to make a boat which will move steadily through the water; he insists that it must be neither too high nor too low in the water, that it must not be too flat-bottomed nor too full forward; he tries to make her stiff and fairly light.

In the movement from the C minor quarter of Grieg, there was a departure from classical models and a use of orchestral effects which, though masterly, seemed out of place...
...spite of the bad weather there was a good attendance at the vesper services in Appleton chapel yesterday afternoon. The exercises began with Le Jeune's anthem "Jerusalem the Golden." Rev. F. G. Peabody led in prayer, and the forty-sixth Psalm was read responsively. The Rev. Dr. McKenzie preached a short sermon based on the words found in the fourteenth chapter of St. John, where the disciples, when asking to see God in person, are told by Jesus that "he that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father." We know that God is present everywhere, and that...
