FOOT-BALL is the favorite sport in fall, and we hope that Holmes Field will be kept in constant use, for our foot-ball team owe it to themselves and to the College to place themselves on a level with the crew and the nine. It is true that the team will suffer severely by the loss of so many good players from '77; but there seems to be no reason why, with steady practice, a team could not be formed strong enough to bring back the laurels which were lost at New Haven last year...

Each man on the crew deserves the thanks of the University for the untiring efforts each has expended to win the success of which we are all so proud. To Mr. Watson, the coach, we owe a debt of profound gratitude which we most gratefully acknowledge; but the one man to whom Harvard owes most for the success of her oars is the captain, Mr. Bancroft.

...sophistical arguments of unprincipled supporters of a state of things which the progress of the modern world has at last made unendurable, and which, having attained one great end, does not rest satisfied, but rushes forward and pushes on to the next. It is to them that we owe the declaration of the great truth that all men are equal...
