...cents. The base-ball club has never been a needy organization; in fact, it has always had more money than it could convenrently spend, and this too when reserved seats were thought to be worth only twenty-five cents. With this fact in view it is rather hard to understand the action of the present manager. Games to-day are no better than they were last year or the year before, and need of money is certainly the only excuse that would justify the management in raising the price of seats. Need of money, however, is not likely...

The petition was signed by men whose opinions should have weight with the faculty. The question at issue...
...short resume of the majority and minority reports of the Committee from the Board of Overseers on the condition and conduct of athletics at Harvard. The report of the majority is open to criticism. Many of the facts therein detailed are undoubtedly true, but it is difficult to understand how a fair-minded body of men could have clamly and deliberately drawn such an exaggerated conclusion as the recommendation of the entire abolishion of intercollegiate contests. This conclusion is not justified by the premises, as any candid observer of both sides of the question must allow. The report says...
