...Hall a regular debating society has been formed. Fierce discussions take place at breakfast, lunch, and dinner on subjects of every kind. I have heard them discuss free-thought in all its aspects at one meal, and at the next the probable course of Mukhtar Pasha. They keep a war-map at the table for reference. I can overhear every word they say, though there are two or three tables between us. Their violent gestures and reckless use of knives and forks may give force to their arguments, but they have the additional effect of entirely destroying my appetite...
...crew was accordingly withdrawn. The last charge was that the referee had ordered Yale out of what Captain Thompson called Yale's own water, - water which Yale had taken in Harvard's course, behind Harvard.

A good deal of valuable time was thus consumed unprofitably for both sides. Cushing, M.

Shortly after, time was called, and the game was Princeton's by one goal, to two touch-downs for Harvard...
