...much more to the purpose, while by playing against the freshmen, the base-ball interest of the college would be doubly benefited. If the announcement should be made that the freshman and 'Varsity nines were to play a regular game, the attendance of students at the match would, we think, be gratifying large...
...approach it, and the book leaves a sense of something wanting, a promised strength which is not forthcoming. It also lacks unity, and the first chapters, treating of the boyhood of Beverly, present anecdotes of him, which entirely fail to delineate his character with any vividness. One might also think that the Italian language was not a common study for a boy of ten or twelve, in the New England of fifty years...
...think that the base-ball management makes a great mistake in setting so high a price upon its season tickets.

Rare is the man who cares to lay out $5.00 at one time for a season ticket, when even supposing he attends all the games, he knows it will cost him no more to pay for each game...
...praise may turn our sister's head. Still, perhaps, there is safety for the Advocate in the one sad fact which mars this otherwise perfect occasion of rejoicing.

The classic form of a "Literary Society" has been dragging along a precarious existence ever since the foundation of the university, but has been lamentably unsuccessful. Our new plan combines, we think, the advantages of the old system in having an official committee charged with bringing in subjects for discussion, with those of the Cornell experiment. This official committee is in the "Hopkins House of Commons" represented by the ministry. The Prime Minister is appointed by the Speaker of the House...
