...Yale-Princeton game has its significance for Harvard. It means that Harvard will meet a different kind of a nine on Monday from that which it met on May 7. From yesterday's score it is very evident that at the first game between Harvard and Princeton something went wrong with the Princeton nine, and it is also evident that the fault, if it was a real fault not the mere result of an off day, has since been corrected.

...afternoon, by a score of five to three, in what was the best played class contest of the season. By the score '95 appears to have put up slightly the better game, both at the bat and in the field, but both their hits and errors came at the wrong time, while '92 bunched their hits, and played their best ball at critical points...

Naturally timid, the conviction that he spoke the words of God gave him courage, and he spoke words of truth for all times and all peoples. Sympathetic and patriotic, yet he was severe in the face of persistent wrong-doing. There are three permanent elements of truth underlying the prophet's thought (1) there is but one God, (2) the government of the world is righteous, and the permanency of a state rests on the righteousness of the individual...
