Harvard won her second game from the University of Vermont yesterday by a score of 12 to 1. The visitors were crippled by the loss of their captain, Abbey, but this did not excuse the errors made by the rest of the team. The game as a whole was rather slow, although the playing of the Harvard team was sharp. Bates was in beautiful form and pitched an admirable game, striking out eight men, and allowing but one hit to be made off his delivery. There were only three innings in which more than three...
Yesterday the crew finished its work in Cambridge, and today it leaves for New London. The year has been rather an unfortunate one in the way of accidents and set-backs. These set-backs have been all the more provoking as the material for this year's crew has been so exceptionally good. But patience and hard work can overcome a great deal, and whatever obstacles may have stood in the way of the crew's success have been almost wholly overcome by the untiring perseverance of Captain Perkins and his men. Today the crew starts...
...Discouragement of Horace Tennant," Mr. Cohen can truthfully be said to have turned his literary shovel to virgin soil, although what he has unearthed is of rather a peculiar nature.

...annual dinner of the O. K. Society was held at the Vendome last night. The attendance of graduates was, owing to the unfortunate time of the year selected for the dinner, rather smaller than usual. Mr. Curtis Guild, Jr., '82, presided. Mr. J. B.

Corbin, '92, were the undergraduate speakers...
...rather interesting to note the statistics-even though they be not full-regarding the opinions of the "Three Years Course" held by the present senior class. It seems that its opponents outnumber its approvers in a proportion of almost three to one. It is noteworthy, moreover, that of the supporters of the proposed change the majority are men who have not been in the class during the whole course. This preference by this part of the men is so decided that it would seem to be an indication of some special influence. Exactly what the influence is it is hard...
