...been so often brought to the notice of the college, that it seems almost a waste of words to write further upon it. In the light of recent events, however, we are again led to call the attention of the undergraduates who have rooms in the yard to the danger in which they are placed and to the means which are at hand for meeting any emergencies which may arise. It would of course be useless to ask for any better appliances for extinguishing fire or for saving life, and we must therefore turn our attention now to the apparatus...
...been well observed at their opening meeting, there was one side of our nature which science was the only means of cultivating. Our present system of secondary education demanded, it seemed to him, the careful and serious attention of parents, and, if not watched, would constitute a real danger for the country.

Farwell made several very brilliant runs, carrying the ball once to our five yard line, but Harvard each time gained possession of the spbere and Henry's remarkable kiching and rushing kept our goal safe from immediate danger. The maul in goal from which we made our safety, was intensely exciting. It was occasioned by an intercepted kich of Cowling's who finally got the ball to the ground. In spite of the close proximity to our poles, it seemed that Henry's kicking would prevent further score...
