...Corporation relative to playing matches on Jarvis with other than college nines; with regard to which an answer had not then been returned. We have since learned that the petition was not granted for several reasons. Our base-ball prospects then looked gloomy enough, but matters have improved somewhat of late. The language of the guide-book of the League Association is not altogether clear with respect to amateur clubs like ours. But on careful investigation, and by means of a good deal of questioning, we find that our nine will not be excluded from playing on the grounds...

At the same time she has always shaped her course with special reference to the requirements of Harvard, and shows no intention of ceasing to do so. She was one of the first academies to change her method of instruction in Latin...
