...seems then that a powerful "combination" has been formed to make Harvard admit the Yale freshmen and Columbia 'varsity to the contests at New London. The plan is well arranged, and the attempt is ingenious. A despatch was sent yesterday to New Haven for further particulars in regard to the matter, but up to the time of going to press last night no answer had been received. The crew management has received no notice of the demands made by Columbia and Yale, and declines to make any statement in regard to the matter until after such notification shall arrive...
...anything else - a large fraction of his college life has passed. Hence, a quick succession of captains in the crews and nines, of editors-in-chief in the papers, and so there can be no fixed policy in the conduct of athletics or anything else. One man builds his plan out and disappears; another succeeds him and grafts his own ideal on to his predecessor's relicts, so to say, and, to mix metaphors, the result is a very patchwork of policy - likest a crazy-quilt, Queen Anne's cottage, than any other product of the same human mind.

The Olympic games were a plan of unity for the whole race; Greece laid aside all internal feuds to join in participation of them. In the 52nd Dynasty the statue of a victor was first fashioned in wood. This was very rough, but when the ice was once broken, statues of athletes became immensely popular with...
...attempt to start another magazine was made for four years, when two freshmen conceived the ambitious idea of founding a new publication. They enthusiastically called a class-meeting and submitted their plan to their fellows, who were unanimous in their approval. But as some of the upper-classmen took the matter in hand the freshmen yielded the field and the seniors and juniors started the new journal, which was called the "Harvardiana." The first number, of octavo size with a blue cover engraved with a picture of University Hall, appeared in 1835. The editors in their opening address offer...
