...history of the Arabs is the least creditable part of their literature, being usually a disjointed mass of anecdotes and chronicles. The state of society and the evolution of customs are never described. The critical spirit, moreover, is entirely lacking and although the sources of information are given with painful minuteness, their trustworthiness is seldom ascertained...
...association and not a single college. Harvard's peremptory demand that the game be played in Cambridge is very extraordinary to say the least. The Gill-Beecher letter, on which Harvard founds her claim, was merely the private opinion of two members of the university, and was never intended as an agreement binding the college: but even if it was, the later action of the two colleges, agreeing unconditionally to play in New York, would have annulled it.
