...change of location was not quite as difficult as it would be today with our hundreds of students and more instructors than the students of 1775. The first exodus was in May 1775. The provincial army was fast gathering in Cambridge to take part in the siege of Boston. Quarters were needed for the troops. In this emergency, the Massachusetts committee of safety ordered the students to be removed, and the three buildings, Massachusetts, Old Harvard and Old Stoughton were turned into barracks. No college work was done till the following September. In that month, as the siege was still...
...These were discreditable traits in English manners. They were always incomprehensible to foreigners, though foreigners generally had, and still have, much more cause to hate their police than we ours. The undergraduates who were fined ten pounds may congratulate themselves that they were not Parisian students in the Latin Quarter, or German students at Heid-lberg.

He was just a bit too active in his position, or rather out of his position, and on one occasion received a stinging right hander square from the shoulder from one of Princeton's men. Several times a free fight seemed pending, the Princeton men losing their...
...second three-quarters our men started out with a very strong game, the rushers passed and tackled well, and the half-backs seemed to have got over all nervousness, meeting Yale with run for run and kich for kich, gaining at every turn. Suddenly, however, Yale changed her tacties and Terry was off with the ball, rushing almost to our ten yard line. In the confusion that followed, Hyndman secured the ball and slid over the linc, making a touchdown for Yale, from which Terry kicked the second goal. This made Harvard more careful, and she played a steadier game...
