Matthew Arnold will accept the nomination for the vacant professorship of poetry at Oxford...
...following men, though unable to come, sent in their names as candidates: Bradford and Churchill, '86, Abbot, Blake, Dudley, Gardner and Peabody, '87. Including Capt. Hood, it will be seen that seven of last year's team will still play, while the number of candidates for the vacant places is very large. At Capt.

Indeed the number is so gratifyingly large, - there are about thirty candidates, - that we are obliged, on account of space, to print a very small part of them...
Last night a meeting of candidates for the nine was held in the room of Captain Phillips. As will be seen below, a large number of players appeared, and there will probably be no difficulty in filling up the few vacant positions with thoroughly reliable men. Two places only, third base and one fielder, will have to be filled by new men.

Coolidge, Manly, '87; Jones, Holden, Austin, Hallowell, Choate, '88; Henshaw...

The candidates for the nine go into training...

A few men always have to remain in Cambridge during the vacations, either because the distance to be travelled homeward is too long, or because those who have to travel it are too "short;" and as usual there were left in Cambridge during the last recess one or two men to guard each entry of the dormitories in the absence of the proctors, and in all, seventy-five or a hundred to form quite an active colony around...
