...concert in honor of the guests, and the following day was marked by similar attentions. A large body of the college accompanied the Nine to the cars, and attested their friendship for the visitors with enthusiastic cheers. Such an evidence of the good-feeling which exists between Princeton and Harvard is very gratifying, and we feel sure that Harvard men will be ready to reciprocate these attentions on the first visit of the Princeton Nine to Cambridge. We know we are expressing the sincere feelings of our Nine and of the College, when we express our hearty thanks to Princeton...

There are men enough at Harvard who can run and walk and jump; we have plenty of good material; all that is now wanted is a little more energy on the part of athletic men, and a willingness to sacrifice their personal comfort for a time to their physical and even mental good...
