...which is itself considerably elevated. From this we may get a very good and quite an extensive view of the surrounding country. Beyond the cemetery we have a choice of two pleasures, of which it may be said that "either is preferable," If we go straight ahead we soon pass the scene of the Carlton murder, which is on the left, about a quarter or half a mile past one cemetery. Thence we pass on to Watertown and beyond Watertown to the famous and beautiful Newtons. If, after leaving the cemetery, we take our first opportunity of making a slight...
...ball, which has become one of our recognized college games, is worthy of the most careful consideration and discussion. The committee must have weighty reasons indeed to induce them to take such a step-a step a so contrary to the spirit of independence and intelligence in which we pass our college lives-and we think it right that these reasons should be made known before any hasty criticism of their action is attempted.

It is another of the famous old Cambridge houses, yellow and white like so many of the others, with...
...Bayne muffed the ball and Bemis handsomely tackled Terry, who tried to run with it. This good work took the ball into Yale ground, but Harvard was soon put on the defence again, where Finney did some good tackling, and our rushers stopped some of the Yale attempts to pass. Next an unfortunate high punt by Peabody was caught by Bayne, only a few yards in front of the posts. From this fair catch Richards tried to kick a goal, but failed. Then Finney had another chance to down Terry, who tried a rush. The next attempt to score...
