...they think best. If attendance on particular lectures was enjoined for certain callings-what are called "compulsory lectures"-these regulations were not made by the university, but by the state, which was afterwards to admit candidates to these callings-At the same time the students had, and still have, perfect freedom to migrate from one German university to another, from Dorpat to Zurich, from Vienna to Gratz; and in each university they had free choice among the teachers of the same subject, without reference to their position as ordinary or extraordinary professors, or as private docents.

...their adversaries on the back-line, but how often does anyone do it in the course of a rally? I have frequently had the pleasure of witnessing Messrs. Lawford and Renshaw play, and they don't.

This has also affected his base-running somewhat, though hardly to an appreciable extent. At the bat he has been unfortunate, knocking hard high flies to the field; but his record is nevertheless good...
...Lovering it is hardly necessary to speak. His play throughout has been simply wonderful. He is probably as fine an out-fielder as there is in the country, and his perfect record on second speaks well for his ability as an in-fielder. He has improved greatly at the bat and is now one of the surest batters in the nine, while his base running is sharp and quick...
