The "Advocate" discusses the base-ball muddle in all its aspects in a very fair and impartial manner, it seems to us, taking into consideration that the affair is discussed from a Harvard standpoint. Our position here has been such that at times we have felt as injured parties generally do - that we have had the worst of several disputes, and for our voice in the matter we think Yale does not wish to complicate herself in any more schemes which possibly may result to her disadvantage. Sport is broad, and the fairness and impartiality which inspires other branches of our greater universities should be cultivated in the athletic department as well.

In the recent Phi Beta Kappa elections at Harvard, seventeen men were appointed from '87 and eight from '88. Class stand did not alone determine the choice, but athletic and literary proficiency was taken into consideration. According to the New York Tribune, one was drawn as being the best roator, two because of their poetical ability, and a fourth owing to his success as a boxer. - Yale News.
