...only class in college that can remember such a series. The last series was played under particularly unfavorable circumstances, at a time when we had an especially weak nine to pit against the strongest nine that Yale ever put into the field. Every senior will recollect with pride the plucky fight we then made for supremacy against overwhelming odds. The 2 to 1 game, the 3 to 0 game, and the 3 to 1 game, coming as they did after the disastrous 21-4 game, stand without a parallel in the history of college base-ball...

Nevertheless it will, we hope, be Harvard's effort and pride to act towards Yale in all things with moderation and with courtesy. That she does not receive like treatment in return cannot change her determination...
