...right spirit. Coach Piper has trained them in the rudiments and in the fine points of the game with untiring devotion. His sympathetic intimacy with the men under his charge has had much to do with the season's success. Captain Currier has at all times been a true leader, inspiring his men and possessing their utmost confidence, a confidence shared by the entire University...
Recent baseball scores, taken by themselves, would seem to indicate that the University baseball team is having a slump. This is not true, or is true only to the extent that the team is not playing quite the same game as in the earlier part of the season.

A short account of the official arrangements at Harvard naturally contains much that is commonplace to us here, while on the other hand it passes over many things which belong to the true inwardness of the situation and which we think essential to the life and value of the place. But it is impressive to be reminded of what have been the national and humane ideals behind President Eliot's work. Professor Kuehnemann has presented these ideals fairly and enthusiastically. The presentation would...
