...quarters for seven years. In 1873, the club moved to four rooms in the upper part of the north entry of Hollis. The society soon outgrew these rooms, and in 1876 moved to its present apartments on Brattle street. Dramatic entertainments are of frequent occurrence in the club. The enthusiasm of its members, in regard to its interests, insures for the club a strong foothold among college societies and a continuance of its present prosperity...

All this, though, had the effect of heightening the excitement of the Harvard contingent, when they saw the Lowell audience making every effort to bully them out of the game. Their enthusiasm at the end was boundless, and when they finally realized that the score, Harvard, 39, Lowell, 28, meant victory and the Silver Ball, there...
