...assume that this year she will have a better nine than any one of those which the smaller colleges in the existing league will have. It was also stated that Columbia would enter a league with Harvard and Princeton. So it was moved and carried that it was the sentiment of the meeting that Harvard should withdraw from the Intercollegiate Base-Ball Association, and with Princeton and Columbia from a new association to which Yale was to be admitted if she wished, though no undue concessions were to be made to Yale. It was also moved and carried that...
...Wednesday afternoon a large mass meeting was held at New Haven to take action upon the question of joining a new base-ball league in preference to the old. An almost unanimous sentiment was expressed against forming a triangular league with Princeton and Harvard; but a new league, leaving out Dartmouth, Brown and Amherst, seemed to find many adherents.

The university could never, and should never, he says, seek to control the smaller college, for the independence of the relationship...
...Love thy neighbor as thyself" is not a ruling maxim in the kingdom of exchange. Men say, indeed, that self-interest is king in this domain of business and the Christian law does not apply to the factory and the counting-room. Business is business. This common sentiment of the street takes its rise from Adam Smith and his school, whose false a priori assumption that self-interest is supreme over benevolence dominated economic theories for 100 years and whose bitter fruits we are still reaping, since such doctrine finds congenial soil in the natural heart. Smith and his contemporaries...
