PUNCTUALITY is not among the virtues of the Harvard student, if we may judge from the indications given at the taking of the various groups by Mr. Pach. Men would come sauntering into the studio half an hour late, and ask, with an innocent air, whether it was not almost time for the picture to be taken. Such men, that is, those of them who knew that their presence was necessary, seemed to forget that they were delaying, not merely their own group, but all the others that followed. It is not necessary for us to enlarge upon the advantages...
...defeat sustained by our Nine last Saturday has been the subject of frequent conversation, and various are the causes to which it is ascribed.

The exhibition was remarkably fine, and there can be no doubt but that Princeton carries off the palm from other American colleges in gymnastic feats. Game was called at 2 P. M. with Princeton at the bat; the same high wind prevailed as the day before, and greatly affected the batting. Both sides drew blanks for two innings although Wright made a three-base hit over left field...
