Early baseball game at Massachusetts Agricultural College

Amherst (Mass.)

This is an early baseball game in progress in a field next to South College. Athletics were introduced to the campus in 1868 when the Wilder Baseball Association was organized. The ball club was named in honor of trustee Marshall P. Wilder, who donated the equipment.
