...friends. By running and tearing around the field as they do, the diamond is cut up in such a manner as to make the ground too rough and irregular for any other nines but ones like theirs to enjoy a game. It is an exceedingly disagreeable and difficult task to get the little "muckers" off the field after they once engage in an exciting game of ball, and numerous are the epithets launched against the lawful aggressors...

If the indifference in this matter, which seems to have taken hold of college men so strongly, could be dispelled, if the members of eighty-six would initiate the custom of having a likely competition for parts at commencement, there would be in promise...
...demonstrated Tuesday evening. Hundreds who went there, tormented, perhaps, by doubts and difficulties in the attempt to solve the great problem of what their life-work should be, thirsting for the light with which the lecturer's words flooded the subject and which would have aided them in the task of solution, were unable to gain admittance...
