...formal evidence" as to this and are "unable to give any such definite dates" as would enable one to make an independent investigation. I have made what investigation I have been able from several persons who have attended all the important matches that occurred in Cambridge for some years past, and who thoroughly understood the games. It is hard to prove a negative, but, so far at least, I have found no evidence of any such thing. I feel convinced that the committee, in its ardor, have accepted some false rumor for a fact. At all events they admit...
...something above the average of the whole college. I have just seen some unpublished statistics at the dean's office, collected last autumn, showing the standing of the university ball nine, foot ball team and boat crew, with the three chief substitutes for each. Their average for the past year was not below, and probably a little above, the average of the college at large, and the figures show there are both high and low scholars among them. The present method of marking is such that the averages cannot be obtained as exactly as a few years...
Owing to lack of space, a report of the commemoration of the tenth anniversary of the Exonian, of the Phillips Exeter Academy has not been given before in these columns.

...greater proportion than the University itself; nor do we believe that college duties are shirked because of interest in athletics to a much greater degree than they would be shirked supposing there were no athletics at all. If the committee will take a deeper glance into the past twenty-five years and compare the two athletic systems they will probably see that, after all, the present system is the best. We hear no longer of "town and gown" fights, of practical jokes played upon professors and Cambridge citizens, and of other childish exhibitions of animal spirits. The men who train...
...ball was placed in the centre of the field at quarter-past five, and almost immediately a sharp attack upon the Cambridge goal began. Several unsuccessful "tries" were made, but so well did the defense of Cambridge play that a goal was not scored until after twenty minutes of hard play. The second goal was made by Harvard in less than two minutes. Both teams played hard and well for the remainder of the first half, but only one more goal was scored, and that was made by Blodgett for Harvard. After a rest of five minutes play was resumed...
