...week passes in a constant round of festivity. Garden-parties in the college grounds, picnics up the Granta and the Isis; concerts and balls at night; and not least, the glorious music and impressive services of Sunday, in time honored chapels, whose walls exhibit great names of those who in their turn have studied and worshipped in those sacred precincts - such are the attractions which the universities hold out to their summer visitors, and which are little likely to be forgotten by those who have the good fortune to take part in them...
...able to compete with Harvard. It would, moreover, tend to intensify the unfriendly feeling already to some extent existing between Harvard and Yale, which is undesirable and not a worthy object to attain. It is surely unworthy of the two acknowledged leaders of American colleges that there should be constant bickering and unpleasantness between them. But it seems to me that the best, and, in fact, the only practicable method of doing away with the "Yaleism," or, what seems the same thing, the "muckerism" of foot-ball, is to enforce the regulation requiring the referee to disqualify a player upon...

Two weeks of assiduous practice may work an entire change in the prospects of our team. Only persistent and constant effort is necessary. The honor of victory would be sufficiently high to repay all the pains the eleven may take...
...education was a part of that absurdity which is striving to beat down all the barriers between the sexes. The uses of co-education are not all clear. I can suppose that the young men in an institution where co-education prevailed would be benefited by the constant association with the other sex; that their manners would be refined, and that they would early grow out of their boyish roughness. But I cannot imagine equal benefit to the girls. I suspect no danger in co-education to the character of the students; it merely seems to me an experiment without...
