Description

When in 1912 the Johns Hopkins University conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws upon Sir William [Ramsey], it fell to my lot as President of the University to make a few remarks, and he replied. Neither of us could refrain from referring to our Tübingen days, and the baseball; club was recalled in public by Sir William. Among other things, he said: ‘I tell you the Tübingen baseball; club was not to be sneezed at.” In this connection it is interesting to recall that the recent Lord Milner was at times a member of the club. "

Evidently this was a club of American students, with some English,, and the German students never took to the game.
