...sometimes, no doubt, where the match is a keen one, as for the House Cup, very rough. While the game is confined to boys, however, no very great harm is likely to ensue, and, as a rule, the Eton game may, we think, be said to be less prolific of serious accident than any other; certainly far less so than the Rugbeian indiscriminate pulling and hauling and kicking, which have, indeed, been of late considerably modified by the rules of the Rugby Union. A goal outweighs any number of rouges; but where the Proportion of goals is equal, Victory remains...
...second half or inning was not less interesting but less favorable to Harvard. The rushers did not tackle well and Princeton played with a snap and audacity exceeding that displayed in the first part of the match. The ball was started by Harvard and Harvard gained ground but soon lost the ball. Lamar, short and stocky, made one of his beautiful runs, dodging under the arms of the Harvard rusher attempting to tackle him about the shoulders. The ball was then for a time mostly in the air, Moffat and Willard having a kicking contest. Princeton sometimes tried to rush...
...care to display his takent here at Harvard. He finds that his fellow-students do not appreciate fun of that kind. If he does continue, however, in these sorry exbibitions of his wit, it conveys a stigma upon the bublic sentiment of decency in his frieuds, and, in a less degree, in his class.

This last performance, however, equals the best feats of silliness on record...
...such methods are resorted to which belong only to a preparatory school. Harvard, we are glad to say, is almost totally free from any such childish methods of discipline. Still it is to be regretted that so many of our instructors are obliged to ask for better attention and less disturbance in the recitation rooms. It is certainly rude for any student to read or converse during a recitation or lecture. It annoys the instructor and students alike. If a man can't give his attention to the remarks of the instructor, he should, at least, keep quiet, that those...
...from an article in one of the German magazines. It is written, of course, from a German standpoint. "The passion for foreign travel," says the writer, "constantly stimulated as it is by improved means of communication, involves the grestest danger to the nation-moral as well as political. No less than $40,000,000 to $60,000,000 are annually thus lost to Germany, and, as if this were not bad enough, our railways don't pay, while innumerable hotels become bankrupt, and the enormous sums invested in these enterprises are absolutely lost. The loss in patriotism, character, contentment...
