...still greater number will advance a stage upon the real or apparent path of knowledge. A word of advice may not be out of place, at least to those who are yet this side, of their journey's end so far as a college diploma constitutes the goal. There is a too prevalent idea in the minds of young people that education is an affair of routine, that the sum of their duties lies in a general mastery of the text-books provided, promptness in recitations and at lectures, if there happen to be any, and good lessons when called...
Several of the decisions of the referee were disputed by one or the other of the teams, and two in particular seemed rather peculiar, one by which Wesleyan scored her touchdown and one by which our men scored through a touch in goal. It seems nearer correct that the score should be two goals to nothing in our favor.

Hyndman could not play because he was under suspension, and, in consequence, was not allowed to remain in New Haven to practice with the team under the penalty of being expelled from the college ; Peters declined to play football in obedience to the wishes of his friends ; Richards recently injured...
