...cheer. The simple form and the full, uniform beat of the Harvard rah is significant of the dignity, unity and self-restraint of college life at the first American university. There is no custom handed down from the past that we can better afford to guard with jealous care than the Harvard cheer. The Williams cheer is, we admit, unfortunate and far from edifying. That of Dartmouth is decidedly ludicrous, to say the least, but is more or less typical of the college whence it comes. Princeton's is novel and impressive. Yale's as usual is but a weakened...
...same old fashion of teaching and learning, with the same old text-books, and if not with the same old instructors, at least under cover of their old prophetic mantle of blind intolerance. The president of the university is elected by the sheiks of the mosque, who are extremely jealous of their rights, and obstinately resist all the efforts made by the khedive to improve the character of the instruction given. Text-books once adopted are never changed, and the whole course of training consists in committing these treatises to memory...
...gratifying results by that time. The tennis and bicycle seasons have fairly opened. The boat-house, Holmes and Jarvis will now be frequented daily by spectators and athletes.

By appealing to sectional jealousy and popular prejudice in endeavoring to avoid all imputation of amateurishness Life seems to show a guilty self-consciousness and extreme...
...Team over New York : "The New Yorkers, who secured the cup by playing with union clubs round New York, were probably led by over-confidence to put it up again and give the college a chance. The Unions were excluded by the New Yorkers, and as they are very jealous of the New York twelve, they naturally rejoiced with Harvard. But if they expect to win the cup from the Cambridge boys they must make a big reform. This some of the leaders of the team propose to effect. Now that the Union Athletic Club remains merely as an empty...
