...needless. The case of the Baseball Association, cited as a parallel, had no application; for the constitution of that association provided for its dissolution in case of the resignation of any member, and this was natural when there were only three members. With five members there could be no need or desire for such a provision. The fears expressed of Princeton's unwillingness to accept the presidency were equally groundless. Perhaps the funniest episode in the discussion was Mr. Camp's suggestion, through a newspaper, that Harvard should prevent all possible complication by not resigning until after voting for whatever...
...class showed a much better spirit by chartering the tug and keeping up their enthusiasm to the finish, than was manifest two days ago; and the freshman crew proved that they deserved the support and confidence of their class. They made a plucky fight from start to finish. They need feel no discouragement at not finishing better than third, for so close a pull against the veterans of the junior shell was as creditable as victory over them. Ninety is to be congratulated on winning her second victory. Ninety-one has steadily risen from last to second, and may hope...
Under the heading "Topics of the Day," the question "Is There Need at Harvard for a New Religious Society?" is discussed. The writer argues that the Y. M. C.

The fielding could hardly be tested in so short an inning, but it seems to need some improvement. The most encouraging result of the game is the good showing made by several of the new men. There seems to be more good material from which to pick an eleven this year than ever before. When the team has been strengthened by the presence of several more of last year's players...
...peculiar social and mental conditions of the century in which he lived. A great interest had just been aroused in the "new chivalry," as it was called-a chivalry in which the fundamental idea was "Frauendiens," the devotion of a knight to some married woman-a devotion which need not be, and was seldom, returned by the noble "Frau." At first this "Frauendiens" was very attractive to Walther, and he wrote many exquisite poems in praise of this love, which seemed so noble and unselfish. But later Walther saw the folly and immorality of the "Frauendiens." He saw that...
