...Saturday's games are inclined to over-rate Yale's abilities, because of a sympathizing interest in so young a club. Now, while this infant Hercules did undeniably well, still her playing was by no means phenomenal. The team's whole game was defence; absolutely no attack at all except as far as they got the ball on Harvard's ground in their determination to keep it off their own. They deserve much praise for their checking, covering, mutual support and everything that goes to make up a strong resistance, but they have not as yet shown that they...
...Critic, in speaking in a recent issue of freedom of thought, says: "At the present time, the younger professors in all our great colleges are, with few exceptions, evolutionists; but how many of them are there who dare profess themselves such? At Harvard, we believe, no restrictions exist, and a man does not endanger his position by declaring his acceptance of the Darwinian theory. At Cornell, too, there are several avowed evolutionists who are in no real danger of being discharged. But when we except these two, we know of no institutions where a similar freedom of opinion would...
...feel called upon to more than mention the numerous lectures and readings which are regularly posted in the weekly calendars, no to expatiate upon the rare opportunities afforded the laziest to receive knowledge without any personal outlay except an hour's attention. But we cannot suppress our astonishment at the meagre audiences which gather to hear the greater part of these readings. Every man who in the future will say he spent four years at college, could reasonably be called upon for some acquaintance, however superficial, with the masterpieces of Greek and Latin literature, and comparatively few of us would...
...bids fair to receive a strong impetus from that source which has ever tended to popularize and strengthen the existence of every legitimate game - the colleges. Harvard was the first college to introduce lacrosse, and has done it in the face of almost no support at all from any except the members of its club. The expenses of the aquatic crew, base-ball nine, foot-ball and athletic teams are paid from the treasuries of these institutions, which are filled by subscriptions of the students. The treasury of the lacrosse club is filled by the subscriptions of the team...
...upon the agreement; prompted not, we hope, although it looks very much that way, by jealousy of Harvard as the originator of the movement, but rather by good and sufficient reasons known to herself alone. Of course no particular results will come from this disagreement between Harvard and Yale except that Harvard will get what practice she can in base-ball from neighboring amateur nines, like the Beacons and Hyde Parks, and Yale will continue to struggle after invincibility through practice with professionals; the contests between the two colleges will continue as before...
