You know that they are there. But is not the dissatisfaction of your whole life this, that it is not they that get your most devoted thought and eager action? It is "the meat which perisheth" for which you really labor. It is the prize of the moment that sets you all astir, with desire, with indignation, with hope, with fear. All the time...

...understand that the base ball management are intending to organize an "amateur" league, and offer cups to the winning nine. We hope that this plan will be speedily carried into effect. A league to which no member of the university, second, or class nines is eligible, will be a great inducement to men who are interested in base ball but have not made a specialty of it. Almost every man in college not engaged in other branches of athletics can play the national game to some extent and enjoys it. By getting them out on the field in club...
