...colleges are growing, and very pleasant to think that Harvard is growing fastest of all. For instance, the University of Michigan outstripped us last year in numbers, having 2,420 students to our 2,252. This year Harvard has 2.613 students, the University of Michigan 2,495. We have gained 361; they have gained 75. An increase of 50 in their Dental school leaves a very small gain in the undergraduate department. Michigan's tremendous law school shows a slight increase, while the two Medical schools, taken together, come out even. Following are the figures for Michigan...
Harvard's gain, it will be remembered, is largely in the graduate departments. Apparently the graduates of the western colleges, except those who were to be dentists, are coming east to complete their education...
Cornell has gained largely this year, but not as largely as Harvard. To the 1,271 students of last year she has added 220, making a total of 1491 for 1891-92. This increase has been mainly in the graduate school, and in the schools of electrical engineering and architecture. The graduate school has grown from 45 to 126, an enormous gain of 87. Cornell is thus following Harvard in the attention paid to resident graduates. The gain in the arts departments is comparatively insignificant...
Harvard had the east end of the field, the wind in her face, and the ball. Like went behind the wedge and was downed only after a good gain. Mason did some good blocking on the right end and Fearing ran around for six yards. Trafford tried to break Amherst's centre but tailed. Lake worked the right end successfully, and then Cobb tried Fearing around the left end. Bond was easily pushed aside by Raley, who tackled Fearing prettily...
Amherst started the play in the second half. Jackson, G. Pratt and Gould bucked the Harvard line without gain and the crimson took the offensive. Lake made the second of his beautiful runs, this time around the right end, and scored. Goal. A few moments later Lake made a similar run for sixty five yards around the right end and scored. There was no interference by Harvard to help him but the Amherst rushers retrained from tackling him. Trafford dropped a very pretty goal from the field a moment later, and Mason ended the scoring by stopping Pratt's kick...
