...Dann, Stagg, Spencer, McConkey, Noyes and Hunt, and McClintock, '90, Hayworth, '88, and Osborne, '88, S. Heyworth has pitched three years for his class team and played in the field in several 'Varsity games last year. He is a careful fielder and a hard but not very sure hitter. Osborne played behind the bat on his class nine and is probably the only man in college who can hold Dann's switt pitching. His strongest point, however, is at first base, which he is able to cover easily. He has played more or less in the field...

...pugilism, we are sure that every man with a healthy mind will agree with Prof. Sargent that exhibitions of pugilism are degrading. It has come to pass that the efforts of the boxers are directed to hard hitting rather than to the practice of the nice points of attack and defence. The fighters and the spectators are more delighted by a blow that draws blood than by the most skilful pass or parry. Slugging is the modern art. Boxing in public is not an exhibition of the art which gentlemen practice for the development of the body and to stimulate...
...following verse: "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou should go; I will guide thee with mine eye." The main thought of his remarks was: Good is always with us; His eye sees us always, and He knows all our acts and thoughts. Be sure that His eye rests upon you with pleasure. After a prayer by Dr. Peabody Sullivan's beautiful "Say Watchman, What of the Night? " a tenor solo with response, was sung by Mr. Fessenden and the choir. The service closed with the singing of hymns by choir and congregation...
