When we consider similar action on the part of the Yale freshmen in 1876 and 1877, and on the part of the University nine last year, we must confess that this move of Yale '86 seems in perfect accordance with Yale's past reputation. The only thing left for Yale to do is to announce the game in next year's Banner as forfeited to Yale by a score of 9 to 0, as has been done in similar cases. Let us hope, however, that Yale will consent to some arrangement by which the decisive game of the series...
...like to add to it. For three years I have been constantly in classes, lectures and laboratories with our lady students, and it seems strange that any one should be surprised because they "listen to the same lecture as the men, recite in the same classes," etc. I must confess that my first experience was rather a novel one, and I relate it, not for the benefit of the "student" (?) who declared that he found a young woman, within kissing distance, a "distraction," but to show how soon the novelty of such "distractions" wear off to one who earnestly devotes...

D. as the most pleasing of the Courant's poets, although to the best of our knowledge he has written but a comparatively short time. There...
...roughest and most unsatisfactory seen at Harvard this year. The rules were systematically broken by Yale all through the game. Edmands was jumped upon nearly every time he went to catch the ball, and this practice was the cause of most of the hissing; but Harvard must confess that they played a weaker game than with Princeton last week...
