...last of which was delivered last night, have aroused unwonted interest throughout the college. Professor Hadley has earned a reputation here for breadth of comprehension and clearness of insight which we feel is well deserved. Those who have attended the lectures have been unsparing in their praise, and only seem to regret that the series is now finished...
...begun so auspiciously for Harvard, it is fitting that we should consider now a restriction to which our nine has been lately subjected. Professional teams cannot be our adversaries on the diamond. The arguments used by our faculty in subjecting our nine to this handicap are well known, and seem sufficient to them; but if they should consider that old proverb, "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well," and should ponder over the fact that professionals not only play better ball, but play ball in a more gentlemanly way than most amateur clubs, they might at least...

With Suddington and Berger as her representatives it would seem as if there could be no doubt about the winner. Although Mr. Stevens of Columbia won first place in New York last year with a vault of 10 feet 3-4 inches, he did not do well in the games this winter. Yale and Harvard have both men who have broken the record made by Mr. Stevens and it would seem that he would have...
