...foundations of another State on the lower Connecticut? What would our good friend, Dr. McKenzie, be, if he were debarred tracing his professional lineage back to Thomas Shepard? There too was Nathaniel Ward, who framed for the young Colony its "Body of Liberties," and who held up to their gaze some of their foibles in his "Simple Cobbler of Agawam?" What a void in the history of toleration would exist if Roger Williams with his doctrine of Soul-liberty, as he called it, had not passed, for the good of both, I suspect, from the bay of the Massachusetts...
...year, and few celebrations of former years have surpassed it in the number of the fire-works displayed and excellence of the music furnished by the brass band.

Later on when the spring board was being put in position, President. Atkinson brought out the box containing the "Challenge Cup" of the Inter-collegiate Athletic Association, commouly known as the Mott Haven trophy. Mr. Atkinson took out the cup, and holding it up to the gaze of the audience, made a neat speech explaining the significance of the cup, how Harvard has held it for five years in succession, and who the winners were at the last meeting; the tug-of-war team, Easton, Curtis, and Fiske, L.
