There is no disputing the fact that a willful public can find through the dailies some grounds for the belief that athletics are the first interest in colleges of today; but we fear that this is a misinterpretation to which the papers must always be more or less exposed, if for no other reason than because they are published daily...

But when the detachment at the bridge fired upon our men, Major Buttrick no longer stayed his hand, but cried to his force of militia, "Fire, fellow soldiers, for God's sake fire!" This was the beginning of the Concord fight...
