...from the report of the Base Ball Convention that no opposition was made to the admittance of Yale into the Association. It is certainly much better to have all the prominent colleges represented in such an association, and that there be no ill-feeling toward any one in particular. We think it would be advisable to have some stated amount as a guarantee for the appearance of a club, so as to avoid any trouble like that in Amherst's case...
...Columbia's Freshmen ('84) is accepted at Cambridge, it must be accepted for a race on some other course than the Thames. Perhaps I may, in another letter to your paper or the Advocate, try to exhibit some of the reasons which make the task of management on this particular course peculiarly arduous as well as expensive.

If popular education has done any thing at all, it is to show to the satisfaction of every clear-headed thinker that one may believe that the sun stands still, and yet be a bad man; while another may believe that...
...Society of Christian Brethren recognized this truth. It saw that its constitution was antiquated, requiring, as it does, of its members a belief in particular doctrines of certain sects. It saw that its constitution, as it stood, practically declared that unless a man believe the peculiar doctrines laid down in it, he cannot be expected to do the work of a good man, and is, therefore, unfit to be a member of the society. A movement was therefore set on foot to amend the constitution so as to admit men into the society whose character could not be impeached, whose...
