...When the proposition was first made it was generally looked upon with favor. The idea of boiling the association down to a triangular one, composed of the three leading base-ball colleges, was attractive. It gave promise of more interesting games, larger gate receipts, and a raising of the standard of the game generally. This feeling did not last until the mass meeting, however. The more men thought over the matter, the greater grew the obstacles. To be sure, several men who had been in base ball and foot-ball conventions (Captains Camp, Walden, Terry, Richards, Peters and Corwin) opposed...
...Columbia, in view of her record last year. Would it not be well to silence this criticism by forming a league with Columbia as a member? If she can maintain a strong nine, the struggle would be more interesting. Harvard's position has been from the first, that the standard of intercollegiate baseball should be raised. If a fair and equal constitution can be framed by the four clubs, then there can be no inconsistency in admitting Columbia...
...Godshall of Lafayette; executive committee, G. B. Winthrop and William Maurice. It was decided to offer a standing prize of a $50 gold medal for breaking records. As the association only holds in trust the prize known as the Harvard cup, it was decided to have a standard for it to be inscribed suitably for each new winner during the time of tour.

The last Saturday in May was selected...
...have consulted, seems to be that we should not do so. If Yale persists in standing by the old league, then let Princeton, Harvard and Columbia form a league by themselves. Such a league would be a very strong one, and would ultimately result in materially raising the standard of base-ball at each of these three colleges. I am well aware that the proposal to allow Columbia to enter will meet with much opposition, but is this fair? Columbia defeated Yale, Princeton and Harvard last year, and, though it by no means follows that she will be able...
...Cambridge in '73, with a view to learning their stroke. The result of his visit was the famous "Cook stroke," a combination of his own ideas and those of the Englishmen. He has worked faithfully with the crews since his graduation, and has done more to raise the standard of rowing at Yale than any other man. The dinner was in every way a success. Many prominent graduates were present, among them were Hon. Henry E. Howland, Prof. Richards, Gen. George Peabody Wetmore, Buchanan Winthrop, Frederic W. Stevens, Sidney E. Morse, and George A. Adee. Following were some...
