...leave at the outset to correct a misapprehension on the part of the officers of the Princeton Football Association. The officers of our Association do not doubt that the members of the Princeton team are all duly registered students in Princeton College or University. Instead of establishing this uncontested fact, the Princeton Association should have explained how it happened that two members of the Princeton team, Mr. Cash and Mr. George, were so late, the one in entering and the other in returning to college. The latter is now an instructor in a great preparatory school, and resumed connection with...
...with the score 6-5, 6-3, 3-1 in favor of Tallant. The games finished yesterday make the final score 6-5, 6-3, 6-5 in Tallant's favor. The match between him and Brooks was well played but Tallant played the steadiest game from the outset. By this last victory Tallant wins first prize in the tournament. The college championship is still held by P. S. Sears who won it last fall. It is customary to have the winner in the spring tournament play the college champion an exhibition match. Accordinly the match was played yesterday afternoon...

In later times the number of names really great...

Graduates and undergraduates, after thoroughly examining why Harvard's crews and teams have been so universally beaten lately, have reached the conclusion that our teams have been handicapped from the outset. What is the ??? of competing with other colleges if we cannot do so on an equal footing? What is the use of awakening vain hopes foredoomed to disappointment? Two plans are suggested by which we may enjoy equal advantages with other colleges, and maintain as high a standard of athletics...
...Jared Sparks' professorship at Harvard was epoch-making for American history rather than for historical teaching. It was understood from the outset that his chief energy was to be expended in lectures to the senior and junior classes. He himself says of his appointment: 'Mr. Quincy said it was not proposed that I should have anything to do in the way of teaching by recitation from books, occasional examinations and lectures were proposed. For anything else I am not responsible. Let the tutor drill the boys.' Every college professor of history will sympathize with Mr. Sparks' view and be glad...
