...fine players, the ball was forced at once towards Harvard's goal. The defence of our team at once had their hands full to keep the ball away as fast as the Americans rushed it towards goal. Easton made several very fine stops of swift balls, and several times kept grounders from being forced through the flags in dangerous scrimmages. Rueter and Goodale seemed everywhere when the ball neared the goal, and each made many fine plays. After twenty-three minutes, Stewart threw the ball, which caromed on another stick and went through the goal...
four defence men, Goodale, Rueter, Williams and Bradford, proved too much for their opponents, and kept the ball well away from our goal. As a result nothing more was scored, and the game ended with the result of 3 to 0 in favor of the American team. Throughout the match the defence of the other side was clearly an over-match for our weakened offence, who seemed unable to keep the ball at their end of the field for any length of time. The Americans outran our team and excelled in throwing. For them, Gilmore and Nichols, Harvard's representatives...

In one single charge 7,000 men were lost. Time had now come for strategy. Grant kept part of his men in front of Lee and pretended to attack Richmond while he detached most of his army across the James river to make a sudden attack on Petersburg. The feint was successful, but not so the attack on Petersburg. The troops arriving in front of the city...
...theology, medicine, law and other liberal sciences. Thus, "the municipal authorities and clergy of Edinburgh were entrusted forever with the absolute control of higher education within the Burgh." On the 16th of October, 1583, the magistrates of Edinburgh appointed a committee to devise the order of teaching to be kept in the college now erected. A strictly university course of study was adopted. The curriculum was divided into four sessions, and at the conclusion of the fourth the students were made magistri or masters of arts. The prescribed course differed from the mediaeval degree system in three important respects...
