...rules. This, kept up for an hour and a half, told on the matches with Harvard and Princeton, and won for our New Haven brothers the championship. We cannot offer them our sincere congratulations for such victories. We do not wish to charge Yale falsely, and are ready to hear what she has to say, but she must show stronger proofs than she has yet produced, to disprove the evidence that we possess. She must, at least, make an open denial of this system of umpire-play, by which referees have been systematically bulldozed. We do not believe she will...
...does not hear so much about young men working through a course at college in this age of rapidly made fortunes. Neither does the student who considers a suite of luxuriously furnished rooms a necessity astonish the world by a brilliant record. What is the effect on the really and truly poor young man?

The advent of the doctor was marked by the rising of the pupils, and as their clapping ceased, one of the members of the school presented him, in behalf of his last class, a beautiful "Loving Cup," inscribed with a quotation from one of the "poet's" own poems...
...their feet and cheering lustily for a minute or two. Professor Flint opened the proceedings with prayer. For a minute or two the professor was inaudible, the shouting and disorder continuing unabated. When there was silence to some extent, the various clauses in the prayer were greeted with "Hear, hear," "Oh, oh," and the prayer, "Cause our university to flourish in the future," was received with loud cheers. Prof. Kirkpatrick then presented the gentlemen upon whom it had been agreed to confer the degree of LL. D.; but his remarks were inaudible, owing to the uproar. The ceremony of capping...
