...most notable characteristic of the speakers in genral. Although some unnaturalness in gesture and attitude was manifest, this arose rather from a lack of individual practice and from distinctive peculiarities than from any defect in the system at present pursued in the college. And yet we cannot but think that the degree of excellence reached in the speaking was hardly what it should have been. There is certainly in the college elocutionary ability of the highest excellence. But upon examination we find that but very few men are in any way interested in the study of elocution. No matter what...
...victory over Brown was not unexpected, but nevertheless was highly gratifying when we think of the defeat of last season. Thanks to Captain Winslow the team-play is much better than last year, every man knows what is expected of him, and the players are not apt to get "rattled" at critical moments. The batting Saturday was not heavy, but when we consider the little practice that the nine has had against effective pitchers it is far from discouraging. The freshmen played a splendid game on Holmes with their Amherst compeers, and have good reason to congratulate themselves...
...gentler sex, we grow manly and (in a sense) harsh, and not mild, gentle, forbearing. So, then, whenever we find the monotony of our desert life broken by some pleasant oasis with its shady groves and fair flowers, with its restful hospitality, we are entranced; for a time we think ourselves in a different world, where, indeed, we really are; and, when we push on again into the desert, we first think and then write of our past pleasures. Wellesley, Lasell, and Boston University, nay, even the Annex, have given refreshment to many a Harvard traveller, and doubtless will refresh...

The fact that only one man attended the nine to Exeter, and that only ten men went to Brown is surely sufficient evidence that eighty-eight's interest is much less than it should be. We understand that the subscriptions to the nine have been quite up to time; but subscriptions are not all that bring success to a college team. To see his nine win, not to hear of its victories, should...
...spirit" may the powers of heaven deliver us from contact with it! If to gain the championship in foot-ball, in base-ball, or in anything, we must sacrifice the benefits of an elective system like ours, let us never contend for that much coveted prize. This is, we think, the weakest argument that has ever been advanced against the elective system. But we are glad to see that the Record has not the support of the other papers of the college...
