...number present at any one time will be much diminished. This plan is adopted at many of the dining-halls of the English universities, and is found to work very successfully. One breakfast, for instance, might be from seven o'clock until a quarter of eight, and the second breakfast from eight until nine or after. Each person would have to come regularly, of course, at either one hour or the other, but that is better than being obliged to come at one hour regularly, without any choice of another. This plan has the hearty approval of President Eliot...
...Inning. Hutchinson drives the ball to Holden, who throws it to Wright; Parker, more successful, gets to first on a missed third-strike, - Tyng's only error, - but is thrown out at second, by a neat double play. Harvard's batters again fail to earn first, and the score is still 4 to 1 for Yale...

Ernst is cut off at second. The score now stands Harvard 5, Yale 4. Intense excitement...

That era in our boating annals which was marked by the class of Seventy-nine is ended. The man whose energy did much to bring the crimson three times to the front has severed his connection with the University. Our prospects are good while Captain Trimble remains in college; but probably it will be long before Harvard will again have three such crews in succession as those of the past three years. Harvard...
