...University Nine met the Live Oaks last Wednesday on the Boston grounds for the fourth time this season, and were defeated by them for the third time. The game was one of considerable interest, for both Nines did well at the bat and in the field. The Live Oaks made fourteen base-hits from Ernst's pitching, while our men struck out five times. Leeds, as usual, distinguished himself in batting...
...until the men came to their second turn at the bat. In the fourth innings, however, after two men were out and a chance was given for the third, Harvard piled up four runs on three base hits by Ernst, Wright, and Latham. From this point on the only interest in the game was to see if Amherst would be whitewashed every inning; and this, from the weak way in which she was batting, seemed not at all improbable. The nearest approach to a run by Amherst was made when Plimpton struck a two-baser over the centre-field...

The first result would unquestionably be bad; the second might be either bad or good. If the little remaining interest dies out of the societies, it will be transferred to something else, and according as this something else...
...Meteor of Rugby and the Etonian of Eton both reflect credit upon the English schools; all the matter in these papers is readable, and, we should judge, of immediate interest to the students. Would that we could say the same of all our college journals! There's the Amherst Student for one, out of many instances; three of its columns are devoted to an article called "A Shakspearian Trilogy," and three more to an essay on Hogarth; no one ever cares to read such effusions as these; if there is more space than can be filled with interesting matter...
Another little matter may be of interest in this connection. A report has received wide circulation through College, and has found its way into some of the Boston papers, that the average mark required for securing a degree had been raised from fifty per cent to sixty per cent. I am authoritatively informed that this rule has not passed. It was proposed by one of our Professors, but was voted down by the Faculty...
