...manliness in serving notice of a punch upon an unsuspecting freshman, and certainly as little credit in drinking at his expense. The excess that is sometimes seen in the yard, however, is unpardonable. Not satisfied with the exhilaration of the rush itself, a few-we are glad to say, a few-seek pleasure in making conspicious their own bad taste. How much better and more manly it would be if the rush of "Bloody Monday Night" were purely a exhibition of class spirit and prowess, untainted by any show of ill-breeding...
...class meetings, which, when put in practice, proved to be a beneficial change. We refer to the election of temporary instead of permanent captains for the various freshman athletic teams. The advantages of this scheme are obvious. By the old system the election of freshman officers was often to say the least, hasty and illconsidered, and as a result the various teams were more or less handicapped in their subsequent work.

In the fifth Lowell got three men on bases...
This afternoon Harvard plays what must prove to be her most decisive game of this season. To say nothing of the chances for winning first place, one of the next three games with Yale must be won to tie with Princeton for second place; and in no other game will Harvard have the advantage she has this afternoon. The work of the nine this spring has been somewhat of a disappointment, but we feel that their lack of success has been due fully as much to ill-support form the college as to continued poor work on the part...
