...promising kind. But conspicuous as he was for mental ability, it is in the private relations of friendship that his loss will be most felt. His friends will miss one who was warm-hearted, loyal, and generous to a fault; one whose character, far above the suspicion of anything mean or paltry, was yet tempered with so much modesty as to render it obtrusive to no one; one who never hesitated to express his strict and conscientious sentiments, and yet was always considerate; in short, one whose wholesome, lovable, and manly nature inspired an ever-increasing respect and affection...

Then followed three whitewashes for Harvard, Princeton in the mean time scoring three runs. In the fifth innings the Harvards became completely demoralized, and allowed their opponents to score three unearned runs, offsetting it by but one for themselves. This left the score 6 to a against us, with Princeton jubilant. Now began one of the most exciting up-hill games I ever...
