...Friday, after a very comfortable journey. The next morning was spent for the most part in making purchases; and after separating into parties, the different members of the team drove around to see the "sights," and were much entertained by the quaint costumes and buildings of this fine old city. In the afternoon they went to McGill College, where they practised for a short time in a scrub game with each other; all the men seemed to be in fine condition, and everything seemed to point to the conclusion that the game on the following day would be a remarkably...
When a College Nine comes to Cambridge to play with our own, it is of course necessary to pay their expenses and to entertain them as well as possible. In the old days of gate-money, this was not a difficult task; but the Base-Ball Club, now that its income is entirely confined to subscriptions, finds great difficulty in meeting its expenses. It is, in fact, in debt...
...Reading-Room has been re-opened this year with fairer prospects of success than ever before, since this year an attempt will be made to conduct it as far as possible on a "cash basis."

...anticipate the objection that the upholders of the old system, if such there be, will certainly bring forward, namely, that the new system substitutes wire-pulling and buttonholing among the class in general, instead of confining it to societies individually, - that elections will be run by cliques instead of societies. Even if this were admitted, - and respect for the higher tone of the class forbids it, - we should be the gainer in the fact that the wire-pulling is done by ever-changing cliques, taking their stand annually on very different class interests, and such as are demanded...
...meet with the students of the University of Vermont, who, being accomplished in the science of agriculture, would undoubtedly accept an invitation to such contests, provided that there were no gamblers or blacklegs to mar the rural simplicity of the occasion. What a proud day it would be for old Harvard to witness her sons manfully endeavoring either to outplough and outhoe their competitors, or to dig ditches of given lengths against time! Then, and not until then, can we realize that we are engaging in some useful and honest work, and not foolishly spending our time and forces...
