...study of Greek literature should be governed by the same laws which we should follow in studying our own literature. Surely no rational being would deny that in reading a great play in any language, the object is, first, to grasp the action as a whole; secondly, to learn the author's distinctive ideas and opinions; thirdly, to become familiar with his style; and finally, to descend to the details of grammar, of philology, of history, of geography, etc. But with us this order is reversed, and "the finest literature of the world" is buried out of sight under...
...goals, limits of grounds, number of men, and so forth, are nearly alike; but in all the main rules there is certainly great difference, particularly in reference to players' picking up the ball and being chased. Another way of settling the difficulty seems to me fairer, which is, to play the game according to the Rugby or the McGill rules.

...Bostons, after their summer's play, are in excellent practice, and with their professional player form one of the strongest Elevens in the country. Our Eleven suffered from the loss of one of their bowlers, and were, as a whole, quite out of practice, even in fielding. They are to be congratulated for doing as well as they did. There is promising material in College for a good eleven, and Mr. Lee hopes to have a team in the Spring whose record shall not fall behind that...
