...different ways, 'at the Wall' and 'in the Field,' the latter being a sort of mixture of both kinds of play." Mother Eton has been a good deal harried and mocked in these latter times, poor thing ! But surely so baseless an imputation as this has never yet been cast upon her. We had always thought the game as played in "the Field" at Eton was the purest form of football known, the most essentially foot ball of any. On no excuse whatever may the hands be employed, except to touch the ball, when it passes behind the goal lines...
...which the Sophomores gain the victory. I now look to my spoils. I have captured this time two '88 hats and recaptured an '87 hat from an '88 man. I feel content and wend my way home. As I am about to mount the steps of the dormitory, I cast my eyes over toward the Delta of Memorial, and there I see three Freshmen standing near the statue of John Harvard, evidently up to some mischief.

The faculty at Yale have taken this step, and have decided to release the students from the requirements of college for that day. Let it be hoped that our own authorities may see fit to follow so good an example...
...Democratic notice proposing an address to Gov. Cleveland. Now if this is sent, every Democratic paper in the Union will print it with the heading "Harvard for Cleveland." Harvard, however, has voted for Blaine by a clear majority. If the University had an electoral vote it would be cast for the Republican nominee. Let those therefore who are Republicans prepare an offset to the Democratic address by drawing up a set of stirring resolutions to be sent to the Knight of Maine. Let us give reasons for the faith that is in us. Let our endorsement be full and fair...
