...prejudiced and offensive view of the game which is taken by people in general-people, too, who have rarely, if ever, seen an exhibition, but who form their opinion from heresay. There is danger, no doubt, of minor hurts as there is in everything which enters into the domain of athletics; there is danger, remotely, of serious accident as there is likewise in the most simple forms of gymnastic exercises. But for dash and vigor and the highest sense of physical perfection which it is probably ever allowed the mortal frame to know; for the development of manliness...
...Hart adds a brief and interesting sketch on the history of the Public Lands of the United States, although many may not believe in the conclusions that are drawn in regard to the course of the government in its disposal of the public domain and in the culpability of Congress in not remedying the evils of the present system; yet no one can say that Dr. Hart has not put the case fairly before the mind and has not clearly shown that the great resources contained in the lands, have been dissipated by the framus of the laws.

Well known faces forgotten for a generation, will recall some happy incident of the former days. Who can doubt...
...would be far outweighed by the pecuniary consideration just advanced, the distraction from the main end of college life, the encouragement given to the gambling spirit so strong in the American breast, and the hostile feelings engendered and perpetuated between colleges whose only rivalry should be in the domain of the intellect. I am firmly persuaded that the intercollegiate sports are as much chargeable with the survival of the traditional animosity between Yale and Harvard, for example, as our primary text books of history are with the anti-British sentiment of all children of tender years...
