...Bostons opened the season Fast Day, by a game with a picked nine, in which four of the Harvards played. The weather was very favorable for the time of year, and the game was close and interesting, resulting in a score of ten to eight. To-morrow the Bostons and Harvards play the first game of a series, in Boston...
...most disagreeable things we must look forward to is a cold room; but we should not have nearly so much to complain of on this score if we would only throw up our windows now and then, and not try to raise the temperature of an atmosphere of carbonic-acid gas and tobacco-smoke. If we observe this simple rule, and are not very unfortunate in our choice of a room, we cannot deny that there is hardly any time so good for studying as a bright winter morning, or any time so good for reading as the "tumultuous privacy...

Although now quite dark, an attempt was made to play the ninth...
...great hindrance to a proper choice of electives in the earlier years of a college course, to know, by bitter experience, that implicit reliance cannot be placed upon the electives to be offered in future years. The benefit is small which is secured from a smattering of a score of different studies having no distinct connection and tending towards no direct result. In the case in hand, had not the College been so poor, it would have been possible, perhaps, to have appointed a new instructor, after the necessary withdrawal of the one first selected, and so have prevented...
