...were certain other disagreeable features which should be noticed. First, we are sorry to be obliged to censure a Harvard player for indulging in a dispute with a player on the opposing team. This is a practice contrary to all Harvard traditions. It must not occur again. Next we feel compelled to notice the conduct of certain members of the visiting team. With utter disregard of all the rules of self-restraint which should govern a college ball player, these players badgered the umpire with such persistency that at last it became almost unbearable. For the sake of the reputation...
...Harvard wins in the game with Brown this afternoon the championship pennant will float on Holmes Field next year. We have good reason to feel confident as to the result, but let there be no relaxation on the nine's part. "There's many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip," says the old proverb, and Harvard at different times has had the truth of the maxim sorely impressed upon her.

...that it may almost seem absurd that the questions were asked at all. Every man who has had even a slight experience in college, provided, of course, he has not so closely locked the doors of his own being as to shut out all possible influence around him, must feel himself benefitted and elevated. Those benefits resulting directly from study or intellectual work of any sort are not here referred to. Their influences are more on the mind than on the self and the character...
