...that Yale mass meeting which was to follow our lead? We graduates have a profound distrust of Yale in these matters, and we do not like to see our college put in so undignified a light before the world. Moreover, we have watched these matters for years, and we know that on the average Princeton is going to be far more fair and gentlemanly in these matters than Yale. Princeton had a number of available graduate players this year, and she did what she is firmly convinced Yale and Harvard have been doing for many years-persuaded them to come...
...must say I think Mr. Codman was most unjust to the college in attributing our agitation against semi-professional graduate players to our defeat. He shows that he is not up in the facts. The movement was well under way, as your readers most of them know, long before the Princeton game. The credit of it belongs to Harvard, and I fancy if we here at Cambridge were to inquire into its beginnings, we should have to admit that our faculty and their committee started the movement in the strictures they imposed on the members of our team and those...
...they played a better game. But the cry of brutes-based on Donnelly's and general rough play; knave-based on the calling to Princeton of other than regular students; and of liar-based on the conduct of playing Ames-goes up on all sides.

Later there is a mass meeting of Harvard, preconcerted and encouraged by Princeton's rival, Yale, in which proposition is made to withdraw from the foot ball league at once, and which ends luckily in the withdrawal of Harvard, to take place...
...because there is no such disparity in the score, there is mutually admiration and good feeling between Harvard and Yale. "Those of us who were in college when Princeton was the friend and Yale the enemy owe to Princeton our efforts for fair play and fair consideration, and I know that numbers of Harvard men are with me in condemning the action of the Harvard mass meeting as hasty and premature. Let us wait till the evidence is all in and sifted before casting off an old friend and falling into the arms of an old enemy. I earnestly hope...
...audience which assembled to hear Rev. Phillips Brooks in Appleton Chapel last night filled it to overflowing. The preacher's text was from John vii. 27, "Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh no man knoweth whence he is." The problem of man's life said Dr. Brooks, is to find and keep the proper proportion between the mystical and the practical. The complete religion when perfectly revealed, must satisfy both sides of man's nature. The close association of Christ with life does not degrade Christ, but elevates life, because He is the stronger...
