Among the phases of Harvard life which that philosopher, "Nemo," has not touched upon, is the multitude of noises, perfectly well known to the collegian, but which beat harshly on the ear of the untutored visitor. Let us go again to the room of our dear friend Snodkins, of whom we have heard so much, and spend a quiet evening with him. Snodkins' room is in Holyoke and looks out on the well which adorns that classic building. Sitting down before his cosy fire, listening to his pleasant chat, we think, "lo, how charming is a college life; so quiet...
...were gathered on Yale's new athletic grounds to witness the match. Among them were about thirty Harvard men, who went down from Cambridge, and several others, graduates, who had come on with ladies form New York, Boston and elsewhere.

Of Moffat's kicking powers it is unnecessary to say anything...

The ball was kicked off by Princeton at 3.31 P. M. Harvard had won the toss and choose the west end of the field with the sun in their backs. The Princeton men passed the ball instead of kicking, and made a rush which was soon stopped and the ball lost by a bad pass. Harvard in turn gained considerable...
