...along the most sanguine. Practically every doubtful question has been satisfactorily answered, and certainly every serious charge has been fully met. One of the best features of the report too, is the evident spirit of fairness with which the whole matter has been treated. There has been no attempt at a concealment of Harvard's real faults and no desire to avoid the evidence of any seemingly disagreeable facts which may have been brought to light during the recent controversy. The football question has been met fairly and squarely, and the result cannot fail to be gratifying to all whose...
...conclusion it seems that either there was a deliberate attempt made by certain persons to throw discredit upon Harvard by concocting this story-or if there be any truth in Mr. Ammerman's statement that he was made such an offer (in its nature hardly flattering to himself). in the light of the evidence on the subject it would seem more probable that the tempter was an imposter making these advances under the guise of a Harvard man, with the deliberate purpose of subsequently making capital therefrom, than that Harvard athletics were responsible...
...practically the same as last year, but the size of the book has been increased by about twenty pages owing to the unusually large freshman class. to the formation of a number of new societies, and to the addition of Warren Hastings Hall to the room directory.

Trafford now tried for another goal from the field, and for the first time during the afternoon was successful. Score Harvard 35, Yale 8. For some time after the ball was put in play both teams worked well...
...hands are clean and our hearts are pure. Princeton has broken every law of the foot-ball association to which no penalty is attached. We have not this year stooped to her methods, and we sincerely hope that in the future we never shall. Yet it is useless to attempt to cope with her or any other college that uses such means. We prefer not to play foot-ball at all, if we cannot play on equal terms, without jockeying, and without question as to the fairness of our opponents. We therefore withdraw from the association. The future course...
