...hands of gentlemen. Thanks, however, to the efforts of recent Harvard graduates, a rigorous movement is on foot to start at least one, if not two, teams amongtheir number, who shall play the 'varsity team and others. Elsewhere the teams are supported by their gate receipts, and cannot afford to travel without a prospect of having their expenses paid. But here, since there are no gate receipts, these expenses must be paid by subscription.

...seen fit to lay upon the table the petition of a large number of graduates in favor of allowing the nine to play with professionals, and we are glad that the alumni do not intend to let the matter rest there. As we have often said before, Harvard University cannot afford to disregard the opinions of her graduates, and we earnestly hope that this last set of resolutions may receive the immediate attention of the college authorities...
