...afforded a great deal of delight to the sleepy inhabitants of Cambridgeport and to those of our own venerable, old, hoary Cambridge. All the happiness and gayety culminated when on Holmes' field the messengers arose from earth to carry the news of Harvard's gladness up through the night air to the clear ether above. Last night will shine as a bright spot on the already glowing tablets of our recollections of these memorable days in the university's existence...
...made merry in those halls, and many a tender vow has been plighted in the moonlight on that great stone promenade. But the crimson glory which shines, as their glory shone, is fading already, as their glory faded. The bridge is all ablaze with red light, and the air is full of hissing rockets and golden rain.

The result was bad. During the first half hour Stevens had the lower goal and the wind against them, so that they found it necessary to play a running game almost entirely, while Harvard...
...dormitories and lecture halls, the state of the atmosphere in some of the recitation rooms is something simply disgraceful. Some of the instructors seem forgetful of the fact that windows have been purposely arranged to facilitate the ventilation of the rooms. The only chance for a change of air in many of the recitation rooms is the short interval of about five minutes when the door is open for the entrance of the incoming class. The consequence of this is that the air becomes so foul that it is injurious for the health of the instructor as well...
