Its ruddy glow proclaims its lifelong wish to be called "Harvardiana" but unless the Cantabrigians uncork their purses during the next few days, there is danger that the poor planet may suffer under some less lucky cognomen.

From across the meadow the Browns advanced, attempting to hurl the Whites from their position, but under a withering fire the former were annihilated, and the steady shooting of the Whites rendered their position impregnable. Part of the Browns' poor success was due to the lack of careful and efficient scouting, as well as ill-planned reconnoisance...
