...time for giving serious attention to base ball is fast approaching. It is certainly the desire of the College to have the University Nine uphold, if not surpass, its former record. There are now only about twelve men practising in the Gymnasium. This does not look very encouraging. Heretofore many able men have not tried for the Nine because most of the places were filled by those whose equals were not to be found; this, however, is not the condition of the present Nine. It is a disgrace that more interest is not shown in this branch of athletics...
...with such ease that in the second heat of the same race he was put back to the 75-yard mark, but again won, as easily as before. The third heat found him at scratch, and this time he succeeded in making the best two-mile amateur time on record in America (6 min. 41 1/4 sec.), thereby distancing all his competitors. This third successive victory gave him the $200 silver cup for his own property.

They are inclined to be abusive, and abuse when not witty is unpardonable. We never approve of abuse; but when it is rich and incisive like the Acta...
WITH the present number the editorial board from the class of '80 closes its connection with the Crimson. As we retire from our activity on the paper, we are naturally reminded of the progress that it has been our fortune to record. The past year has been an unusually eventful one for the College. We have witnessed the erection of Sever Hall and the new Gymnasium, and the establishment of a Professorship of Hygiene. The College is still burdened by the marking system, and is likely to be until the whole system of American instruction is reformed, and the university...
