...Hale then spoke as follows: "In its pride over the completion of a quarter millenium, the college attempts an enlargement of its religious privileges. Nowhere have I witnessed a grander service than the daily morning chapel service heartily conducted by a thousand gentlemen.

Yale looks upon this race simply as a practice pull, to prepare them for their contest with Harvard, and have consequently asked to have the east course, which, though generally considered the worse, is the one which they will use in the race with our 'varsity...
