...play of the Harvard eleven this afternoon will satisfy every one who is interested in college athletics, and will surprise those who have been depreciating the team as a raw eleven not worth much. It is a raw eleven in the sense that most of its members have never played on the University before; but that is quite a different thing from saying that they are not good. In fact, considering the peculiar circumstances under which Harvard has played football for the last two years, it is just as well that most of the men are new men, and have...
Probably few people, even of those who call it a green team, realize how little experience most of the men have had. Peabody is the veteran of the team, as he played on the university in his freshman year; but he has never played on a winning team. Brooks played on the university two years ago, and was one of the best rushers on the team; and it is largely owing to his efficient work as captain that the team of this year has reached its present point of efficiency. Adams has played portions of two important games...
...skill, to the other team going into the contest with the expectation of being defeated. The only times of late years when Yale has been met by a really confident team have been the last two Yale-Princeton games.

...students. It is a fact that the ordinary chapel service repeated morning after morning does tend to become monotonous. But if we are privileged to listen to addresses by men like Dr. Brooks, Dr. Hale, Dr. Peabody and the other preachers to the university, attendance at morning chapel would never become what we fear it is now considered by many - simply a duty. If we may be permitted to offer advice, we would suggest to the preachers of the university that the example set by Dr. Brooks yesterday morning be followed throughout the year. We feel sure that such...
...called old school of education. This term does not imply that the course of study here is not in accordance with modern ideas. On the contrary, Yale has alway been ready to introduce new methods and new ideas, when their value has been proved by experience, but she has never been willing to go to such an extreme of literality as Harvard. To all educated men therefore, and especially to college students, this discussion is of peculiar interest, since it happens at a time when the history of education in this country has been brought prominently to our notice...
