...athletics foot-ball has absorbed everything. Practice has been steadily maintained. The college was a good deal rejoiced Saturday last at the news of Harvard's victory. We must confess that from all we had learned it seemed as though Princeton would win. Harvard certainly is to be congratulated. The game at Boston on Saturday is now looked forward to with great interest, in as much as it is to be really the decisive game. It is best not to prophesy.

...seemed so fierce in their wrath that I was almost frightened to death. I never saw such mad girls in all my life as the Miscellany editors were. They wanted to lock the doors and stay a day, a week, a month, if necessary, until the guilty wretch should confess the crime; and they would have stayed, too, if some one hadn't come and said that the expressman had just brought a box of Whitman's candy to one of them; and then they thought they could discover the culprit by asking all the innocent ones...
