Certain remarks let fall by those interested in foot-ball would seem to indicate that the scheme can hardly hope to meet with very hearty support from that quarter, while some of the men who are prominent in rowing affairs fail to exhibit any very enthusiastic appreciation of the new departure. The fact is that many valuable men will be kept from trying for the eleven, or, if class games are to be played, from the elevens...
...very strong probability that Appleton, '84, captain of the '83 eleven, and Phinney, of last year's team, formerly a member of the Princeton 'varsity, will consent to play.

How changed from that first class day when nearly a quarter of a millenium ago the first class of Harvard graduated and took their leave in a "sober and God-fearing fashion." Those were the strong and sturdy days when Fair Harvard was known as "Charles H's wooden college." when at commencement "Ye General Court of ye Massachusetts Colony...
