...swift pitching which the Harvards have faced all the spring seemed to have somewhat incapacitated them for hitting Thompson's deceptive slows; and their batting was not nearly as good as it has been in some of the recent games. Hooper and Estabrooks each made a pretty hit. Eustis brought in three men by a hard hit to centre-field which went through the fielder's hands, making a very welcome addition to the score, as he followed them directly on a passed ball by Madigan. Our Nine fielded very well, notwithstanding the slippery ball. Hodges and Kent played without...
OWING to the University match, which was arranged for the afternoon, the game was begun at 11.45 A. M. Our Freshmen did not play as good a game as they have in previous matches, but had no difficulty in vanquishing their opponents. The good fielding of Perry and Ernst, and the batting of Tyng, Sleeper, and Kip, the latter making a home run, were noticeable features of the game. On the part of the Browns, the principal good plays were made by Matheson, Comstock, and Allen. The thanks of both Nines are due to Mr. Stratton for his strict...
...fact about college poetry which strikes one is that there is a great deal too much of it. The maxim "Write nothing in verse that can be written in prose" is entirely disregarded, or rather inverted.

...good or bad fortune of the present age to be one of intellectual tumult and revolution. The Christian world, like a man just awakening to the knowledge of his own faculties, has begun to question the truth of what it has been taught to accept as dogma. On the one hand, science, made confident by its recent achievements, assails the very foundations of the Christian religion, rejecting with scorn testimony and proof which require standards of judgment other than those of the exact sciences; while, on the other, literature, or rather the champion of the "literary theory of culture," refuses...
...that the "theologians," as they are derisively called, are having a very hard time of it. The common people are presuming enough to inspect, and perhaps reject, the doctrines which are zealously laid before them, in much the same way that they have sometimes been known to refuse very good cold meat, or clothing not more than three quarters worn out. And, as if this were not enough, the men of "culture" assail them with all the opportunities for attack which can be furnished by extensive learning and a delicate taste for sarcasm. That the "theologians" will be utterly unable...
