...getting Dartmouth rattled. This, headed by oarsmen, foot ball players and others, they succeeded in doing by bombarding the visitors at every move with the college and the class yells. In the eighth this disgraceful bedlam was repeated, and the score was tied. The confusion and noise then grew worse, but both nines were blanked. In the tenth the excitement was intense. The Dartmouths failed to score, and Yale scored the winning run on Chellis' failure to stop Bremner's grounder. The batting was very hard. Many Yale men apologized to the Dartmouths for the unfair treatment they received. [Globe...

Sumner took but little recreation, much preferring his room and books. He took no part in athletic sports and did not go into society, but was very social, enjoyed pleasantry...
...Davidson College, N. C. in insulting some clergymen travelling on a train with the students. An investigation of the affair was made, the result of which is now public. The Rev. Dr. A. D. Hepburn, President of the college, finds that the actual occurrence out of which the stories grew was exaggerated and misrepresented in the reporting. This conclusion is especially the case with regard to the alleged insulting behavior of students toward Methodist ministers.
