...somewhat surprised to learn that one of our musical organizations is suffering at present from the indifference or thoughtlessness of its members. We refer to the Pierian Sodality, an organization which has hitherto been not only a credit to the University at large, but also a source of great enjoyment to those who have attended the concerts given in the past by this society in connection with the other musical societies of Harvard. It would be a great pity if the part taken by the Pierian in the May concert should not be a success, and it would...
...Advocate, and we think that such an opinion can only be held by men who at best obtain but a superficial view of college life and practices. It is most undeniably false that our nine, in wishing to practice with professional teams, is influenced by a desire to learn "tricks" and unfair points to be employed against Yale and Princeton, unless learning how to play base-ball in a scientific manner can be called a "trick." The Yale and Princeton nines play with professionals, and their playing shows the result of such training; we are simply influenced by the desire...
...Advocate appears an open letter on the much-discussed subject of allowing college teams, and the nine in particular, to compete with professionals. The general force of "X's" argument must be admitted, but when he declares that our chief purpose in wishing to play professionals is to learn a few more "tricks" he puts the matter in a wholly false light.

...SUCCESS is a good memory, without which the student, business man or scientist loses what he gains. Professor Loisette's wonderful discovery enables his pupils to learn any book in one reading.

Benjamin, the famous jurist, and hundreds of others who have all been his pupils. The system is taught by correspondence. Classes of 1087 at Baltimore, 1005 at Detroit, and 1500 on return visit to Philadelphia. Address Prof. Loisette...
...direct contravention to their established policy of allowing the undergraduates to govern themselves. If the request is granted, the men will feel bound in honor to do nothing which would tend to dishonor our University. Games with professionals would teach the nine to accept defeat with resignation. They would learn to control their feelings; and thus a better condition of affairs would exist when we meet with defeat upon the college ball field...
