The class base-ball games have their uses in developing men for the 'Varsity nine, but they are not intended as a school for creating a love of low ribaldry or other coarse wit.

The freshmen tried to chime in, and now the spirit of interference seems to be in full sway.
Harvard cannot afford to let her men get into such bad habits. The disgrace has gone far enough. Will the captains of the class nines take a firm position and stop any game that is interrupted by the vulgarity of men who believe that personal abuse constitutes wit?
