...game. Very true, but Yale can practise and learn it during the fall. It is a game very easy and simple to learn, requiring, at the utmost, two weeks' practice for a club to be able to play it skilfully. I trust, then, that Yale will approve of the plan, and that in 1875 we can have a match between the rival Universities in football, as well as in other athletic sports...
...here is our plan. Let two such discordant elements as Old Cambridge and the new and very manufactured Port be divorced. Prospect Street could be made the border-land of the finite and human, while Cambridge, Old Cambridge, would know no other law than the philosophy of the Unconditioned, transcending all the petty efforts of a Port government.

Supposing that three hours' work is to be done in the evening, this will be finished, not at 9 or 9.30, but at 11. In regard to the injuriousness of late study...
...with some reverses, and it is now plain to be seen that all the hopes of the friends of the movement will not be realized, but that there is still much the society can do, and will do, towards a careful study of Shakspere. It is doubtful whether the plan of weekly or monthly papers to be read before the main society in London can be carried out; the number of living English writers on Shakspere is small, and men seek other ways of addressing the public when they wish to do so. But in the republication of rare books...
