...particular case of Harvard. "He declares," says this Boston paper, "that an American boy of eighteen is not competent to select the studies which will give him the most valuable training or best fit him for active life. Any one," it continues, "who has watched the tendency and effect of the elective system must heartily indorse Dr. Crosby's conclusions, in which, we are sure, he voices the earnest feeling of a large portion of the alumni of Harvard." We do not feel prepared to enter into a discussion of this much-vexed question. But of one thing we feel...
...last a man of Dr. Crosby's standing has raised his voice to protest against an abuse which, as I believe, many have long wished to denounce. The plain language he uses about the mismanagement of our colleges is refreshing, and I hope it may have a wholesome effect. It is, as he says, an abomination and an outrage to allow young men to travel all over the country to play and witness matches, incurring expenses which in many cases their friends cannot afford, wasting time to the neglect of their real work, and exposed to various demoralizing influences...
...temporary and artificial, of such a character as would not prevent the final establishment of the industry, even without protection.

The snow was entirely removed, and except for a little mud and water the ground was in first-rate condition, and the only effect of the weather was to reduce the number of spectators. Play was called about quarter past two, Harvard kicking off, having lost the toss. Princeton started off with a very sharp offensive game, but was more than checked, for in ten minutes Wesselhoeft took the ball from Mason's kick...
...Harvard a very fair chance of securing the championship. Only one rival now stands in the way, but she is our strongest. All now hinges on next Saturday's game, and our hopes for success then are of the best. The victory over Princeton will have the effect of silencing all doubters, and of justifying the sanguine in the confidence they have held in the merits of Harvard's eleven. Our best wishes for the highest success are with the team...
