...nearly one-fifth of the whole number of students, but that section of the country, though greatly expanded in the meantime, now contributes only a little over three per cent. The increase from the Middle States is the most striking, and is chiefly among the students of the college proper, one-fifth of whom now come from that part of the country. The number of graduates of the university who settle in the Middle and Western States has been rapidly increasing of late, many of them soon filling places of trust and influence. They exert themselves to improve the preparatory...
...determined attempts made to root out the older forms of athletics. Even Harvard indifference is no longer talked of. Very soon we may look to see the "typical" Harvard student, no longer typical, a plain ordinary youth, of passive tendencies and no interests but those most strictly proper in a cosmopolitan and general sense. What points of interest can he then present to the inquiring visitor...
...till June 1776, when all returned to Cambridge. Meanwhile, as the common soldiers occupied the buildings, the provincial Congress had caused the library and apparatus to be removed to Andover. Here they remained in safe keeping at the Theological Seminary until 1778, when they were returned to the proper places. In the fall of 1777 came another exodus.

Winslow, '85, who argued that the faculty had not right to interfere simply because football or base-ball were played somewhat differently from the time when they (the faculty) were...
While it is necessary that the rules, in defining the proper range of a player during a scrimmage, should prohibit off-side play, yet the latter has become an important and interesting point in the science of foot-ball, so much so, indeed, that lovers of the sport would not like to see it rendered impossible by doing away with the warning. Besides, the rules should not place off-side play on a par with such cowardly and unmanly offenses as tripping, throttling, etc., by prescribing the same punishment for both. Under the present code the penalties in some instances...
