...question of dissolving the present college base-ball league, and of forming from the colleges that compose it, together with Williams and perhaps one or two other institutions, two separate and smaller leagues, is assuming a position of importance before the college world, and is becoming the chief topic of discussion at the colleges interested. For the purpose of exhibiting as truthfully as possible the real status of opinion on the question at the present time among the several colleges, we present below letters upon the subject from several colleges, and from the others we present the editorial opinions...

Its success now depends largely on those who have already taken enough interest in the enterprise to subscribe to it. We hope that these will not think that, for the present, they have done enough by simply signing their names.

In order to do this they will need an immediate supply of money, and it will prove of great...
