...study, but there is no part of our town that does not feel the influence of the body of scholars that have for so many years given Cambridge its fair fame in the land and the world. It is a fallacy to think that there is but one sort of learning to be honored. The learning of the book and the college, the learning of the forum and the exchange, are all to be prized, and we who live in a university town have a share in each. The atmosphere that surrounds the university is something of which...

...afternoon. Several times during the afternoon they left the court, fastening a racquet to the net as a token of possession, and amused themselves by watching the base-ball game. Several men were waiting for a court, but were evidently too courteous to take the one in question. This sort of thing continued until six o'clock, when the freshmen departed-presumably for dinner. Such an exhibition of selfishness is indefensible. There is only one way to cope with it. And the next time those freshmen try the same plan, we earnestly hope their court may be taken from them...

...made witn teams in the neighborhood of Cambridge, as all freshman teams have hitherto done, and the class games will help fill up the other days of the week. Upon the manager rests a grave responsibility, for by practice games only can a team be brought into any sort of shape for the test of paramout importance, the two games which every member of '91 looks forward to, to uphold the athletic honor of his class. If '91 expects to incur anything but disgrace, it is just about time to arrange for games on every date that can possibly...

...freshmen are pulling a sort of man-of-war stroke at present. They are working in the right spirit, however, and an improvement in their rowing is easily seen from day today. There are some good men in the boat, and the crew is without doubt big and strong enough, despite the reports to the contrary. Just now their oars are in the air all the time except during a very vigorous catch, but this is always noticeable in a green crew...
