...south. Harvard led off with a good kick, and followed it up so well that in ten minutes Cushing, '77, got a touchdown. Seamans, however, missed the goal. The ball was kept near the Harvard goal for most of the time; but in the last ten minutes of the first three-quarters, Princeton "braced up," and drove it up towards their goal. McCosh of Princeton made a very pretty kick that was much applauded, as was also Ballard's run; but Princeton showed want of practice in passing the ball.

...were founded. Now, however, students are much older, and as the Faculty have abolished boyish regulations, we can see no reason why students should not abolish boyish customs. The performances, which some consider so courageous or witty, of blowing up a drain, or mutilating and stealing College property, show first an absence of appreciation of what constitutes gentlemanly conduct, and second, a disposition to return to the boyish and rowdy habits which have been almost wholly uprooted from our soil...
