...great regret that so little apparent interest is taken in the fitting up of the so called Meeting Rooms of the Hemenway Gymnasium. The flags which the Crews have won, to be sure, and the trophies of the Nines for several years back are there, and are a constant source of pride and satisfaction to us all. But this interest could not fail to be greatly increased if, in addition to the trophies themselves, the faces of those who won them for us also adorned the walls.

...toward one goal and now toward the other, as either side gained a slight advantage. At this time Harvard succeeded in gaining two touch-downs, but they were not allowed by the referee.

The College papers will send them free to any address. Paste them in the fly-leaf of your Rig-Veda, or some other book in constant use, so that, at any moment you will be able to find the proper word. [And here it should be remarked that, granted the word, you have the poem; for thought (that is, a concept) is entirely out of place in a work of the imagination.] There are other tables...
