...unable to score; the score was now tied on even innings. Intense was the excitement. In the next inning Yale opened heavily on Austin, and aided by fumbles and wild throws by the infield, made three runs; our freshmen scored once. It began to grow dark in the eight. but play was continued. Palmer was again put in to pitch. Through sharp playing by Foss and Gallivan Yale was blanked. Harvard came to the bat, made a hit, but was forced out at second by Fargo, who in turn scored second on a wild throw to first by McConkey. Foss...
...live here at college, as it were, in a desert; and so we will live as long as co-education is not countenanced by the Harvard authorities. All the tender, gentle sides of our natures are neglected and grow up like reeds in a sandy soil, getting only a mere existence.

There is my friend C., who has wonderful visions in his sleep; and when in a tone of conscious superiority, he tells me of them, I become so jealous as almost to grow to hate him. Why, a short time ago he dreamed of the end of the world; and the rocks were cleft, as he stood before the old University library at Cambridge. Suddenly the earth yawned, and there bustled out of the chasm, with a roar from a long silver trumpet...
