We offer our sincere and hearty congratulations to the members of the freshman nine on their glorious victory over Yale on Saturday. They have won both games of the series, and have kept the Yale freshmen off the famous "fence." The college appreciates their victory, and is proud of them. Especially creditable is this victory from the fact that the nine played on strange grounds - which is always more or less trying - and had not such strong support from their classmates as did their adversaries, that is, in point of numbers; for certainly they cannot complain of indifference or lack of enthusiasm on the part of the twenty or thirty men who followed their fortunes, and shared their triumph. We can only commiserate the men who, having nothing to interfere with their going to New Haven, save a miserable lack of confidence in the nine, wilfully remained in Cambridge. We would particularly commend the captain and manager of the nine for their energy, industry, and perseverance; the former, in keeping his men down to their work, in convincing them of the importance of training and practice, and in exercising careful personal supervision over the work of each man; and the latter, in the thoroughness with which he made all arrangements in regard to the nine, and in the minuteness with which he carried out those arrangements. To the nine we would say that it has shown itself deserving of confidence; has proved itself an honor to its class and to its college; and for its cool, steady play of Saturday, is worthy of the highest praise and congratulation. More than this we cannot say, but in the name of Harvard we present our thanks to the members of the freshman nine, and trust that the example they have set for future freshmen may be followed in the same spirit of enthusiasm and loyalty to their Alma Mater, as has been shown by eighty nine.
