...decisive action was delayed until Harvard broached the subject of a next year's game. And then came the letter, which, although it was likely to take away one prominent feature from our coming football season, was inevitable in some such form, if we were to maintain our self-respect. We repeat, our stand has not been hastily taken, nor is it representative only of the opinion of a few thoughtless undergraduates - it represents the mature consideration of many, old and young, who have the best interests of the university at heart...
There was much blame deserved by both Ninety-seven and Ninety-eight yesterday for their disregard of the request not to use firearms at the game. For this request there were various excellent reasons, but had it seemed utterly groundless it should yet have been granted out of respect to those who made it. Repeatedly, after the chairman of the Athletic Committee had spoken, the captain and manager of the freshman nine remonstrated with the class, but wholly without avail. Ninety-seven, so far from setting the example of compliance, by their own firing very effectively spurred the freshmen...
...earned runs on two hits for four bases each. Reuning had his hand badly hurt on a pick-up in the ninth inning, and foolishly continued to play. Schoenhut had to ease up and as a consequence was hit hard for the first time during the game.

Paine struck out nine men and barring his wildness pitched very strong ball. The score...
...March, 1886, Madame Modjeska and a competent company gave the play in Boston, and that was the first and only Boston performance until Mr. Daly's revival. With the clear exceptions of Miss Mary Shaw's Sylvia and Mr. Vanderfelt's Protets, Mr. Daly's production is in every respect better than that offered by Madame Modjeska - notably and brilliantly better in respect of the light, life, color, and sweet music with which the whole play moves along. Yet in spite of these qualities, of Miss Rehan's beauty and great talent and of her noble speaking of the verse...
...conditions of Harvard life. It is true that the fame of the debater, or of the literary or scientific man, is not as the fame of the football hero; yet while neither may have a place in the undergraduate's enthusiasms, each is awarded a share in his respect which is denied to the mere athlete. Football, baseball, any of the sports, is more exciting and attracts a more intense interest than can fairly be asked for intellectual work. No outsider can follow the processes which lead to literary or scientific success, or can feel with him who wins...
