We are told that the management of last year's freshman baseball association is still in debt to the extent of some hundreds of dollars. The matter has been allowed to run during the past fall, but the time has come when a settlement must speedily be made, Whether the fault of the existing state of affairs lies with the manager of the Ninety-two nine or whether with the class we do not know. It certainly seems, however, as if the management had made exceedingly bad calculations for the expenditures for the season, or else had been very slack about making the necessary collections; for the sum of a few hundred dollars is not such a bagatelle that it can be entirely overlooked by a manager when computing beforehand his expenses for the season. We are all loath to believe that a debt of this kind has been put upon the class merely from the carelessness of one individual, and we hope that a satisfactory explanation will be made. The fact remains, however, that the money will have to be raised shortly, and the class will doubtless ask a statement to be made in regard to the matter. Whether or not the fault lay with a lack of generosity on the part of the class last spring, nothing remains now for the members to do but to subscribe so liberally as to liquidate the debt immediately and entirely.
It is a matter of great regret that any trouble should arise now of this nature; for, as a matter of fact, Ninety two has-with the striking exception of the football-little to boast of in regard to the freshman management of her finances.
