...Winter Meetings have been a great success, - greater than at any time during our memory. There was a great deal of rivalry and spirit displayed at all three meetings; and it is safe to say that what-usually is deemed a bore by the blase upperclassman who "has seen it all before," was interesting and exciting even to his wearied palate. The last meeting especially, was contrary to expectation in many respects, the best of all three; the flying rings, horizontal bar and tumbling were all so excellent as to call forth the excited applause of the oldest spectator...
...brows and cheeks crocked so as to appear as if wearing huge goggles; four spade-bearers; six pall bearers with a six foot coffin on their shoulders; and then the sophomore class in full ranks. They looked poverty-stricken; their hats, with the rims torn off or turned in, bore the figures '63 in front, that being the year of their class, their apparel such as is suited to the tearing foot-ball fight, and their left leg having crape on them.

...favor of the sophomores that they submitted without complaint to the imposition of a theme within three days of the beginning of recitations after the Christmas recess, when they had been obliged to hand one in but a few days before the close of recitations for that recess.

The game had been played "3 dayes previous," and the account was interesting in marking the divergence of the present system...
...maids turn green with envy, run with the speed of a winged Mercury toward Harvard's goal, at the same time displaying to full advantage, a row of pearl-like teeth, and a beautiful pair of side whiskers, through which the gentle zephyrs softly whistled as he proudly bore his treasure down the field. A touch down was made, from which the full-back kicked a goal, which, considering the perfect symmetry of the curve described by the ball in passing over the bar, the graceful movements of the kicker, and the unequalized adjustment of his cravat, was undoubtedly...
