Harvard second nine defeated Andover, May 23, by the score of 9 to 4, the home team being a patched-up affair. May 26 Harvard 1903 defeated An- dover 5 to 2. Their pitcher, Clarkson, had the home team at his mercy, making 19 strike-outs and allowing only one scratch hit. Mains pitched for Andover for the first time this season and pitched a heady game. Andover played a good fielding game, Matthews especially dis- tinguishing him by his work at short. The best exhibition of baseball seen here this season was the game put up by Georgetown University on May 20. The score was I0 to 4 in favor of the visitors. Andover’s playing was marked by wretched errors. Mains of Andover pitched pluckily after he had received a bad injury to the eye from a ball which came off his own bat. Andover’s best first baseman, Tobin, has left school. He was one of the best ball players An- dover ever had. Stoddard is playing the position. The new Phillips Andover Golf team was defeated by Boston Latin in its first match, May 26, 9 to 8. | PHILOMATHIAN REUNION. One of the most notable features of the coming commencement week will be the celebration by the Philomathian Society of its seventy-fifth anniversary on June 27. There will be an historical] address by Rev. Dr. Leander T. Cham- berlain of New York, a poem by Edward S. Martin of Harpers Weekly, and an organ recital by Everette E. Truette of Boston. After the dinner, to which all past members of the academy, whether members of the society or not, will be cordially welcomed, there will be short addresses by a number of well known graduates. The Philomathian Society is one of the oldest organizations of its kind in the country. It was founded in 1825, by Rey. Dr. Ray Palmer, Yale 730; Rev. irda” Hackett: Rey Dr. Willian Newell, and Rev. Dr. Jonathan French Stearns of Newark, N. J., brother of ex-Pres. Stearns of Amherst Colege. The record says that in 1827 the Society “adjourned for a few weeks on account of a revival, whereby we hope to be more profited than when meeting together for performance.” The Philomathian Society is the parent of several other Andover institutions. The Mirror was originally gotten out in manuscript form by the members», It is certain that it existed in 1837. In 1892 the Society of the Forum was formed by seceding members of the parent organi- zation and has grown to be a very worthy rival of that Society. The fifth annual Robinson prize de- bate was held in the chapel Tuesday evening, May 22. A fair sized audience was present, including..the students of Abbott Academy. The subject was: “Resolved, That the progress of civi- lization demands the partition of China among the Great Powers.” The first prize for individual debating was carried off by Francis Howard Fobes of Lex- ington, Mass., a representative of the Philomathian Society. Fred Lewis Col- lins of Andover, representing Forum, was awarded second prize. Forum sup- ported the affirmative, and her represen- tatives were Dicran Barsam Barsamian of Marsovan, Turkey; Fred Lewis Col- lings of Andover, and Francis Joseph O’Connor of Lawrence, Mass.
