...whose opinion has little value - say openly that our chances of success are few. Others who have been carefully comparing each score as it reaches us are in a much more hopeful frame of mind. We sympathize entirely with the latter, and shall wait until the next game is lost before giving up the hope of winning the series, and the championship. The match with Amherst on Wednesday has strengthened our hopes. Ernst's pitching in the fourth and fifth innings was particularly fine. Howe's catching throughout the game was marred by one error only, and that one gained...
...regatta at Silver Lake yesterday, Goddard lost the single-scull race by turning the stake-boat the wrong way. Notwithstanding the delay caused by his turning again, he passed five boats on the home-stretch. The order at the finish was: Holmes first, Houghton second, Goddard third...
...Dennison umpired very impartially, and was extremely satisfactory to both sides. The victory was mainly due to Latham's remarkable fielding, Nunn's fine batting and base running, and Alger's timely base hit.

If the latter can learn to hold the pitching with gloves, Harvard...

Terror-stricken, I took to my heels, and never stopped until safe...
...third objection is that Commencement Parts could not be assigned; and this seems insurmountable. But what if Commencement Parts were not assigned? Would much be lost? Under the present method those who are most capable of offering interesting parts often fail to attain them through their devotion to difficult courses. But if exercises at Commencement must be had, would not treatises in different branches by students who have won distinction therein be more interesting than the present exercises? Indeed, they could not well be less...
