...foot-ball meeting last evening showed great activity in rushing to the defence of that much abused sport, yet something more than empty words will be required to put a team worthy the name into the field. After the enthusiasm displayed, the college has a right to expect that Jarvis Field will be well tenanted this afternoon...
...sides is heard a call for larger accommodations. Harvard needs at least three dormitories, an annex to Memorial Hall, and money for countless objects.

They always have played with remarkable steadiness...

The custom, however, is founded in antiquity and supported by long practice, so we suppose it is idle to expect any change, and the student might as well accept his fate in the same spirit that he submits to other evils...
