...state. It is still much more a blank book than an autograph album. Only a mere handful of men have taken the trouble to sign their names. This indifference on the part of the college is wholly indefensible. The university crew of last year did its work in the face of greater odds than any Harvard crew has ever confronted. Its victory was hard earned and the more glorious on that account. We all felt the importance of the triumph when parading the streets of New London last June, and cheering to the echo the men who had sent...
...saying, like many others of a kindred nature, contains a very large proportion of truth. In fact this truth has stood the test of so many seasons that it has ceased to be a subject of more than passing thought to anyone. Now, when a man; in the face and eyes of the world, or at least so much of the world as is contained within the walls of Memorial; in direct opposition to all the behests of reason, boldly attempts, not only to make time wait but also to go back and retrace his steps, is it a matter...

The game abounded in brilliant plays, many of which were made by Harvard men who, despite their want of practice and training, played a steady game in the face of great odds. It should be remembered that the Montreals have been constantly in practice since early last May, while our men have not played together since the middle, of last June, until within a fortnight, and therefore no just comparison can be made between the two teams. The running...
...full swing, busily engaged in the task of grinding out its annual grist of A. B.'s. The clang of the prayer bell, followed by the rush of tardy footsteps over the crunching gravel, reminds us that prayers, like the poor, "we have always with us." The genial face of John, that unique example of Catholic "Orangeman:" the thought-furrowed brow of General Pratt: the "eggs and toast" of the Holly Tree: and the nocturnal journeys to that Paradise whence Adam has not yet been expelled, and at whose gates no flaming sword checks the wanderer, save...
