...Editors of the Lampoon have made a very happy hit in giving the features of men known to us all, and putting beneath them lines which indicate the estimation in which they are held by those whom they instruct. Ten or twenty years from now they will be of great value, and if they are ever published, as the verses from the Advocate have been published, we who are now undergraduates will regard them with an interest equal at least to that which we feel for the book in question...

This led to a regularly organized association, which met on Jarvis Field in October of 1874, under the auspices of the then Senior class. The great interest shown in it at that time resulted in the two yearly meetings which have always, until this year, taken place in the spring and autumn when the condition of Jarvis rendered meetings impossible. It was owing to the success of this enterprise that Harvard started the Intercollegiate Athletic Association...
