...best advantage in knocking it, now uses every effort to deceive him by curving-I think that is the word-the ball. And this is looked upon as the last triumph of athletic science and skill. I tell you it is time to call halt! when the boasted progress in athletics is in the direction of fraud and deceit." Probably the annals of debate among intelligent men will show nothing richer or fresher than this. Brothers Nichols of Harvard and Moffat of Princeton will hereafter kindly refrain from practising their deceptive arts upon the guileless batsmen. It is wrong...
Constant complaints are being made that the laboratories are not kept open during the time of the mid-year examinations. It does not seem to be necessary that this department should be closed for almost three weeks because recitations are not in progress. Many men finish their examinations from one to ten days before recitations begin again. To them it would be of great advantage if they could spend some of this spare time in the laboratory.

All in all, the university at large has every reason to feel proud of the advancement and progress which Harvard is making year by year in every direction. And we shall have every reason to be gratified if the next report shows as successful a year as the last...
...because animals can run into evil courses, become vegetables which cannot? This indeed amounts to throwing up the game of life and admitting that the world is worse off the older it gets. It is the business of the true culture to point out the landmarks that verify progress, to add to the experience of the individual the experience of the race, to prove that no effort is possible without its result-and no result possible without effort; to send the young man out into life equipped to make a place in it, and with faith which shall never grow...
