...which it played last Saturday, to repay the trouble incurred by the management in arranging the matches. It seems as if a sharp game played against either the second nine, or the freshmen would be much more to the purpose, while by playing against the freshmen, the base-ball interest of the college would be doubly benefited.

Now there is nothing in the nature of a commencement part that requires stupidity, yet stupidity is the rule, not the exception in commencement parts. The facts are often scholarly, but seldom interesting. This year, however, the parts, we are told, must be interesting above all other things. The topics must be as far as possible live toplcs...
