...upon one such scene as this, he would at least be compelled to confess that the human form is capable of more poetry than can be found at the average gossipy tea drinks." And then with a grand burst of philosophical sentiment he exclaims, "And does a creating Divinity forbid his humanity's making the most of the powers he has given to it to make itself beautiful in form and happy? and movement?" No! we emphatically reply, no! A creating Divinity never forbade his humanity's making itself beautiful in form and happy, never forbade its making itself "movement...
...hoped that the gentlemen who hold this important position in next fall's games will be found always fair and strictly impartial. It must seem strange to gentlemen unacquainted with the game that it should be necessary to forbid, by the rules, a player's choking or kicking another, or tackling and jumping on an opponent when he does not have the ball and is not in any way likely to have it; but experience has shown that personal safety demands protection by rule from such ungentlemanly proceedings.

The only real reform will come, we think, when as at Harvard the students have outgrown the silly practice and come...
...attracted the attention of the committee was in regard to the base-ball nine, and does not, therefore, concern the Athletic Association. Suffice it to say that President Eliot has written to the faculties of all the colleges with which our nine plays matches, asking them if they will forbid the nines of their respective colleges to play games with professional clubs, in case Harvard takes the initiative in that direction. Affirmative answers have been received from all the colleges addressed, except Yale, and she has not been heard from at all. A favorable answer is expected, however, from...
