...Prospect Union is in need of larger quarters; the number of men who wish to enter classes there is greater than can in any way be accommodated. To meet this need, the most expedient move has seemed to be the purchase of the old City Hall of Cambridge. The money for this purpose is to be raised, partly by mortgage and partly by bonds issued by the Prospect Union and secured by the real estate purchased. We speak of the matter because, in the first place, we believe that the Prospect Union does an excellent work and that every plan...

Paine '94 takes charge of the coaching as often as he can be spared from the 'varsity, but when there is no one on the field in charge, the practice is apt to be listless and poor. The most promising men are Benson, c.; Gregory, p.; Warren, 1b.; Stevens, 2b.; Gray, Castle, ss.; Hewes, Martin, 3b.; Anderson, Horton, Nichols in the field. In addition to these there are eight men playing with the 'varsity. With constant coaching...
