...premises are borne out by facts, then the conclusion ought certainly to hold good. But one of the premises is false, or at best a mere assumption. Granting the first premise for the sake of argument, yet I claim that the Committee offer almost no proof at all to support the second premise, viz., that the objectionable features of the game can not be removed by any revision of the rules by the Intercollegiate Association. This last statement is almost a pure assumption on the Committee's part. The only arguments they offer in support of their belief is that...
Once upon a time many years ago, a day was set apart on which all good people were to offer up their prayers for the blessings which they had received.

Compare this with the state of things existing here. Here, every year, as many "innocent scholars" meet their fate at the hands of the designers of the town,-falling unhappy victims to the charms of the young ladies of the place...
...Harvard must come on the 15th or that the game would be given up, as that was the only possible day on which they could play. This was soon followed by a letter, dated Nov. 13, exactly contradictory, which reads: "If you will not play on the 15th, we offer you one more day, the Wednesday immediately before Thanksgiving. If you prevail with your Athletic Faculty to let you play, we can play the morning of that Wednesday. We must play then if at all, as any other day after is entirely out of the question. This is our final...
