...captain for the foot-ball eleven for the year '86-87 shows that the 'varsity team is still alive and that an earnest attempt will be made to pursuade the faculty to allow Harvard to be represented next year.

It is but natural to expect that the more intellectual arts and sciences will be absorbed in unobtrusive silence, and that their achievement will not attract any notable share of public attention, and that base-ball and boat racing will be studied with a fervor which cannot...
