Another topic of importance, debating, is treated by Mr. E. R. Lewis. He clearly shows that undergraduate dislike of debaters is based upon misunderstanding; and that the Harvard system seeks to produce no ranting, narrow, or insincere orators, but speakers who are temperate, well-informed, and honest. His arguments, though they will interest the serious student, will hardly convince those whose aversion to any form of intellectual contest has made debating unfashionable. These, who are the very ones to be persuaded, may possibly be won by the formation of new debating societies, or by some ingeniously contrived rewards...
Every fall we enthuse and the team fights its hardest. Then, after Yale has won by a narrow margin, some try to console us with the statement that we have done our best and suffered an honorable defeat.

...final and most important game of the season this afternoon, the Freshman class has an opportunity of showing its confidence in the baseball team, and of expressing its appreciation of an unusually successful season, unmarred by a single defeat. Last week the Yale freshmen were defeated by a narrow margin, and it is likely that today's contest will be a hard one. Arrangements have been made for a cheering section reserved for Freshmen, and those who attend the Cornell game on season tickets should make an effort after the University game to fill the vacant places adjoining the cheering...
