...understand from reliable sources that many of the organizations at our sister college, (if we may call such masculine rival as Yale by this term), are only a little better off than is the lacrosse association. It would seem therefore that the stories of Yale enthusiasm, passing from mouth to mouth, have become greatly exaggerated in their transmission, or else that the year 1885 is to be made memorable by a change in the Yale spirit. The fact, however, that Yale enthusiasm, and Harvard indifference have been drawn more closely together, is no apology or excuse for the latter...
...table, a pencil is drawn out, and work is begun. I watch my friend closely; he works slowly, but deliberately, and soon, raising myself a little, I see, not a page of carefully written notes, but a wonderfully life-like portrait of the "man in the box," mouth open and hand raised. It is indeed a wonderful picture! In it I read pages; it not only presents the lecturer himself, but adds as well all the magnetic power of the lecturer.

Up to this point the small Dartmouth contingent had struggled nobly with their complicated cheer, and the Yale rash were wholly inadequate to silence it. But after the sophomores met them squarely on their own grounds shouting with...
...yield like gentlemen to defeat. Everyone expects this action on their part, but when they must needs go so far as to make a public attack on the umpire, they are going a little too far. We do not stoop to deny the slanders, prompted by defeat, which their mouth-piece, the Philippians has made. But there must be somewhere in the school a streak of ordinary good-breeding in the midst of the vulgarity that is so prominent, and we would ask the decent element in the school to make an apology, as public as the insult, in order...
