...those who know the magnificent vitality which this game builds up, or who saw, for instance, the splendid physique of those young athletes who stood in confronting lines last Saturday on the field at Harvard, the game of football stands for much more than this show of roughness. The popular notion of the game founded upon the sensational reports of the daily papers and the real game as it progresses before the eyes of the spectators are two different things. It would be amusing, if it were not interfering with the proper understanding of a vital subject, to read, within...
...universities and the medical schools has never been dissolved. In London, however, there arose the purely professional hospital schools, and it is only in the last fifty years that a reunion of medical with other studies has been effected at University and Kings colleges. In this country, as we know, there are medical schools connected with our universities and colleges, but a university course is not compulsory for a medical student. We also have hospital medical schools entirely distinct from any colleges. It is, however, in the Scottish and continental universities that we see to what importance the medical faculty...
...race, and consequently '91 ought not to be influenced, as we said she should, by the outcome of last year's contest.

Lastly there are "Morning in the River" and "Evening in the River," the former a sweep of the stream below the Casino, looking out towards the sun; the latter, a westerly view showing the shore in dark shadow under the sunset...
Tangible evidence of Harvard's capacity to succeed, if she only takes the trouble, has been afforded. At the opening of the term we mentioned the well-worn saying, "Oh! they don't know how to play foot-ball at Harvard!" and joined our entreaties to those of the college that this trite remark might become as pathetic in its application as that satire, "Yale men say." Our hopes have been fulfilled, and Harvard has taken its place among the first of the contestants in the foot-ball arena...
