...must have a charm for every one, even the foremost indifferent and insensible. The surrounding buildings, all full of interest and some of them true monuments of Harvard's success and greatness, the crimson-uniformed nine in the centre, the runners and bicyclers, the tennis players, and last and laziest, the throng of lookers-on on the out-skirts, all make on Holmes on any pleasant afternoon a very fascinating picture, which speaks as well for Harvard's athletic activity as for her intellectual progress...
