...Herald correspondent puts it. Indeed, we have reason to think that by a very little effort on the part of the managers of base-ball, the project might readily be brought to a successful issue. The advantages of the scheme are obviously commendable, and the objections to its inauguration seem mainly to consist of the fear that this extra nine will not be good enough to give the 'Varsity sharp practice, and that "Harvard indifference" will cause a failure of candidates to appear for this nine.

Students are always inclined to express themselves by more or less absurd pranks at some time in their college course; but usually by pranks that are harmless and good-natured. In the case at Trinity the chastisement inflicted by the seniors upon their sophomore prisoners, seems to have been absolutely barbarous and inexcusable. It is of course possible that the reports of the affair were exaggerated by the daily press; and, before a final judgment is given, the statement of the students themselves should be heard. But, if the reports be true, it is high time that college students everywhere...
