...meeting of the executive committee of the Princeton athletic association, a few nights ago, it was formally decided that there was an imperative need of a new base ball cage, and that the association should undertake to build one, if it could get sufficient help and encouragement from the undergraduates. Acting on a suggestion made by Professor Osburn it was decided to appoint two committees from the three associations which will be benefited by the cage, one committee to have charge of the construction of the building, and the other to raise the necessary funds. The committees are made...
...outsiders. He had no fears about Harvard's being left alone. Mr. S. E. Winslow, '85, was then introduced. After some witty remarks, he gave his theory for Yale's success that their faculty, graduates, and undergraduates pulled together, while at Harvard they pulled apart.

He thinks that Harvard will soon gain the upper hand by better management and better training...
...Nation on the teaching of pedagogy in our colleges, part of which we reprint in another column, deserves attention, as it deals with a subject of great and growing importance. Teaching as a profession is claiming a much broader field than ever before, and in the same proportion the need of a preparatory training is becoming more evident. Our high schools and academies are suffering much because many of their teachers, though college graduates, are utterly inexperienced, and must spend the first year or more in learning methods. This year of training may be a valuable one for the teacher...
