...Dear Sir :-Yours of March 24th was duly received, and I should have replied sooner, but have waited to ascertain what days the university would use Jarvis field, and I wished to learn what the class thought in reference to our game with you. I have spoken with Loud, captain of our team, and we have decided that, if possible, we had better arrange the games by correspondence, as the expense of meeting you at Springfield would be considerable, and it seemed hardly necessary to do so. I am sorry that I have to ask you to play the first...
...Dear Sir :-We agree to play the first game at Harvard on May 17th, if you will play the second here on the 24th, and in case of a tie, the third at Springfield, on the 31st. Our annuals compel us to finish the games as early as possible.

This is one of the points upon which the faculty and the undergraduates seem to differ. It is perhaps desirable, as the faculty appear to wish, to lessen the element of competition...
...subscribe to the maintenance of athletics. This for sooth brings about a spirit of democracy! Harvard democracy we had better call it. The seventh resolution caps the climax. Our patience has already been sorely tried, but the faculty have carefully kept the heaviest blow for the last. Our dear friend Columbia, with whom our experiences have been so pleasant, had to be propitiated, and this is the result embodied in few and choice words of the purest English style...
