...position, was taken ill and compelled to resign his position to Nichols, who, although a good pitcher, lacks experience in that capacity. Nichols is an excellent catcher, and throws with great precision. Allen, who in the absence of Captain Crocker has filled catcher's position in an almost faultless manner, is an excellent general player, and has had considerable experience as pitcher. Smith, who before entering college had but little experience on the ball field, has covered first base remarkably well, making but one error in eight games. He is a heavy batter, but lacks experience in base running. Coolidge...
...Page's address before the Finance Club last evening was one of great interest. The speaker's style was familiar and entertaining, and the manner in which he handled his subject showed that he had made a thorough study of it. The Southern States east of the Mississippi were compared to the Northern States east of the Alleghanys, especially with New England, in regard to area, population and industrial progress. Virginia, thanks to slavery, is fifty years behind Massachusetts...

...certainly seems as though the requests for subscriptions, sent out by the treasurer of the university crew, might meet with a gentlemanly response. One of the postals sent out has been returned with no signature, and cut and torn in a most insulting manner. If this was done intentionally, and there is every reason to believe that such was the case, we cannot find terms emphatic enough in which to characterize the act. Certainly it was not the act of a gentleman. Certainly no man in college, if he possesses a spark of college feeling, would be offended...
...limited exhibitions in comparatively small rooms devoted to special objects, as compared with the usual museum arrangements, by which all the collections of an establishment are thrown open to visitors, without any attempt to select the more important or interesting objects, or to arrange them in an instructive manner. As soon as the new geological and biological laboratories of the corner-piece are occupied, probably at the commencement of the next academic year, the same arrangement will be extended to the geological and palaeoutological collections...
